Why do we tolerate terrible nursing?

We had a HELLP syndrome patient who was about 30 hours post-op and popping off severe range BPs. Keep in mind we are a regional center and do pre-eclampsia every. damn. day. This nurse totally doesn't call me with severe pressures, takes forever to treat them, and is taking pressures every 5 seconds, which is not our protocol. Keep in mind once I got mad at... Why do we tolerate terrible nursing?
