You still have times when there is nothing to do?

I haven't seen that.... in decades.

If there is no patient care there is documentation. If there is no documentation there is administration/supplies. If that is done there is something to clean.

And if that is done there might be a paper/medical book to read.Or discuss a case with someone.

...Okay, you got me...I am a former manager.....

But tbf, we have sacred break times here, but when you work you work. (And well, we have less hours than people in other countries)

Where in your job description does it say you can "relax after doing your job or reading on downtime"?

I'm sure there is something for you to do?

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.

Wouldn't you? That job seems to be low pay with tons of hours. If you want to fix that, raise salaries and reduce hours so nurses can feel like human beings.

Yeah the hours the medical field demands seems ridiculous. I have a friend working 18 hour shifts as a transport driver. Why is that considered a good idea?

Pretty sure that’s illegal, at least in the US

There seem to be a lot of exceptions for medic-related jobs.

Correct. Medical field is in high demand, and there are often special doors to go through to expedite the immigration process and fast track citizenship.
