It may appear shifts wait for others-but having been behind scenes in ERs --that is usually not the case. Waiting on a bed and nurse to cover that bed is usually the only reason for a wait time in from the waiting room. Most hospital staff work 12hours-some floaters, so nurses really don't care if we get a patient 15 min before end of shift--we have just reported off and go.
Again, sorry for your bad experience. Most of the nurses are compassionate and certainly are in the field to help others the best we can with the resources we have available to safely practice medicine.
