Why does the nurse have to solve every problem?

It seems like half the time my discharging patients have everything taken care of and I am able to focus on the nursing needs for discharge.

The other onhalf the time it's all left to me to take care of. Pick up meds from pharmacy because they were never called in and meds to beds is MIA. Print the polst, make the packet, call the care home, coordinate a ride etc etc. drives me crazy.

Either have the nurse take care of everything or have case management and social work do it!!

It's this random mixture that I can't stand
