I had surgery a couple of years ago at a hospital near Toronto, and two nurses were trying to answer all the bells, and tend to patients while 4 others sat peacefully at the nursing station, entering data. Are not nurses supposed to care for patients?? If hospitals are partly trying to avoid lawsuits by this great attention to records, then medical or nursing students should be doing it. Patients' bells were not answered, and the nurses were stressed and not particularly nice when they did come. I very painfully made my way down the hall, and noticed that there WERE a lot of nurses sitting at the station. What is GOING ON??
