Hypothetically speaking, say there was this nurse who had to turn another nurse in for lack luster care (soiled patients, untreated high blood pressure, no recheck of vitals, fever of 103.7..you get the idea) of their patients. Say the charge nurse went to the boss of the ER and was told, "Sometimes we need to turn a blind eye to certain situations." Say that nurse, whose duties were neglected, also got promoted to a day shift position.
*crickets chirping*
Yeah, I would be speechless too. If I was that nurse, who took up the slack, I would be questioning everything this point. Turning a blind eye to patient care, when patient care is the main goal of your work. Interesting. Lesson to be learned: things are not always as they appear and politics exist no matter where you work.
