Shift report pet peeves: what is something useless that nurses on your unit insist on handing off?

Wait 5 sec.

Every time I take report from one specific nurse on my floor, she spends three full minutes going over the patient’s surgical history from 1994 before telling me why they’re actually here today. I don’t need a 30 minute backstory on an alert and oriented patient who came in for an elective knee placement. What’s that one piece of completely unnecessary information people on your unit always insist on handing off during report?   submitted by   /u/bluestone666 [link]   [comments]
