Idk why this happens so often on my unit, if I need anything from the night team residents after 630 it’s not gonna happen - they’re logged out of vocera and I’m lucky if they even answer a page before shift change. But day team gets here and is messaging me questions and requests at 645, 650. Usually simple things like “can you get her set up with a blood pressure cuff and make sure she has a BP follow up appointment scheduled?” But like, I’m trying to panic chart the last of my shift and organize my sheets for report, is it really my responsibility to go do this task that is not time sensitive and just needs finished before discharge? Do they even understand that I’m the night shift nurse and on my way out? Is it rude/lazy to just add the day shift RN to the chat? Some days I’ve missed the chats entirely until I’m back the next night.. I’m assuming they followed up with the day shifter at some point. But they have to know at 650 that the nurse assigned in Epic is still nights right? I don’t understand and I overthink the whole thing every time 😅
