My boss has been away recently and I have been on my own from 8.30-5.30 3 days a week. The other nurse has been on her own on the days off too. We do live in a low risk area and it is a small practice but I do wonder whether its legal or not etc. Especially when we had an emergency in for one patient and I had to nurse and leave reception unattended.
I don't mind, but I do wonder what would I do if anything were to happen.
