1. Unscheduled tasks delaying those that are scheduled

Rationale 1: While working with different disciplines, work days are in a constant state of flux, unscheduled tasks and events occur, and sometimes nurses get behind.
Rationale 2: While the amount of work can be daunting at times, it is generally not overwhelming consistently if time is managed effectively.
Rationale 3: While taking longer breaks does occur, it is not a common reason for having to work late.
Rationale 4: Volunteering does occur, but the nurse who is having difficulty keeping up with work days would generally not volunteer for extra responsibilities.
