Nurses with an overbearing manager, how do you pass time at work without getting caught? (linux.community)

Overbearing manager means somebody for whom relaxing after doing your job or reading on downtime means lazying around.

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.
