No, that’s because of the crushing weight of the charting and these places being chronically understaffed due to corporate greed. I worked as a CNA in a hospital, and we were doing our best to help everyone every second of our shift. It probably seemed like we were just disappearing because we never knew when we went into a room if we’d encounter a few seconds of questions, or if it would be an hour of assistance due to an emergency.
But I’ve also worked overnight at a nursing home, and there was definitely some downtime there, including for nurses.
is this why nurses are always just disappearing and leaving patients to suffer?
No the understaffed hospitals are why nurses are being overworked and not able to manage the high patient load.
You’re aiming your rage at the wrong target.

No, it’s because patients throw their medication in the bin ;)
