Yeah that often happens on the ward i work on. If somebody is sick they are not always replaced. We just take on extra patients. The occasional double shift is done too but the boss trys to avoid that as people get too tired and thats when mistakes are made...and mistakes can cost lives. Time for a beer for me i think.When I was in hospital last July the nurses were almost doing double shifts for others who didn't turn up. They were so busy yet remained calm n helpful. Gotta admire that.
