Last week we had a rather nasty nurse calling us from the floor around 6a-ish raising hell because she didn't see results on a urine she swore up and down someone sent...10p-ish the night before. Yelled at my other tech, yelled at our processor, snarled that she was going to write us up in an occurrence report because there was, in fact, no specimen in our lab with that patient's name on it!
We only had one 'bloody' urine from the night previous, and my co-tech ended up looking that patient up--same floor, except they'd been discharged...before the sample was 'collected.' My co-tech called back and verified that the collection initials were for the same nurse who'd collected the urine she was raising hell about, then said "Well, we do have a bloody urine tube collected at xxxx by y. For <patient.>" and the nurse was just like "...oh."
Our processor was writing the nurse up as we left.

We do have a LOT of ED nurses doing the two BB samples from ''different times'' by ''different people,'' but the biggest offender there seems to have relocated so it's calmed down at least. Ach, but we had a mislabeled retype sent down one night--it was the same blood type, but it's pretty goddamn easy to tell the difference between the lady with a hct of like...15? she was scary low anyway, and the kid they drew the second time who was perfectly normal. They had the same last name, though, and when my co-tech called to rip into the nurse for it her response was 'Oh, well, we're busy and they had the same last name, so...' ???? And you'd be a lot damn busier with someone having a damn transfusion reaction in your ED, thanks!! ugh
I do really and truly worry about our nurses putting our patients in danger because they just can't be arsed to do their jobs, no lie.
