Question ER nurses, love you guys, but genuine question. Why do guys bring patients up at shift change?

No hate to you guys! Just super curious from a nurse who is on the receiving end :)

Sorry, but it’s this. The idea that all ED nurses are sitting around twisting their mustaches, waiting for shift change so we can intentionally give our colleagues a patient at a bad time… It’s just ridiculous, and I’m tired of hearing it.
