That sounds like an attitude issue on your end, I've never had a nurse be unwilling to give me a quick history on discharges. Are you trying to get a life story for a discharge patient? And how is the charge nurse going to tell you anything about a patient they haven't seen, read you the pts chart?Ive had nurses give me crap about looking through PT treatment records while waiting on some doctor to check them out one last time. I normally just ignore them for the most part. Ive gone to charge nurses to get a PT history and status cause some nurse thought she didnt have to tell me anything. Normally going to the charge nurse changes the nurses tone pretty fast. Ive refused to transport PTs until a nurse has given me the low down on a PT. That normally ends up being funny when they complain to my supervisor and I explain it to them. If you do your job right your supervisor should have no problem backing you up.
