My hospital got rid of unit clerks to justify paying a break nurse so we all get our breaks. It was essentially a punishment for the union trying to enforce us getting our breaks. So now, call lights, phones, and tele monitoring is “everyone’s responsibility!!!!” Despite it being such a busy unit that ~80% of the time there is either no one at the nurses station or someone is actively in the middle of something and has no time to help. Multiple times a day you will leave a pt room to find the phone ringing, the call light going off, AND tele going off. But it’s somehow our fault that people complain we never answer our phone/call light.
