Well, I'm not technically working, I'm in my 3rd year of med school, but on my medicine rotation now, I have to be at the hospital by 6:30 to check up on my patients, be ready for the morning report at 7 am, and I usually get to go home at around 6. The interns stay until 7 pm when they have evening sign out, which is when they report to the night team what's going on. And then, if the intern hasn't finished their work by 7 pm, they have to go back and finish all their notes or transfer orders, or what have you. And for those of you that think that should be plenty of time, hospitals are unpredictable. You never know when somebody is going to code, a private patient is going to fall when the attending isn't there, which patient just pulled out their NG tube, which family member is going to come by demanding why grandma isn't getting any better after her 7th stroke, etc. Personally, I think it's all a bit ridiculous, since the doctors are overworked, they overlook simple things. It's easier for me since I'm only to take a couple patients from the intern, I can spend more time making sure nothing was missed on my patients. For instance, one day I come in, and I'm assigned a patient. She's a type 1 diabetic, listed in her chart, but nobody ever ordered her insulin. She came in on a Friday night, and I got her on Monday morning, so that was all weekend she didn't get any insulin, which is not a good thing. And nobody else even realized it.
