Whats it like working for one of Calgary's hospitals?

I can only speak for my unit at the FMC... team nursing is really the decision of individual managers. On my unit, I will have an assignment of 3-4 patients on the day and evening shift, and 5-6 for nights. We are really struggling with staffing right now though, so more often than not we are short and have to take on extra patients. The nurses I work with are fantastic, brilliant, and incredibly supportive. I started there as an undergrad and am now an RN, and everyone has always been available to answer questions or drop what they are doing to give me a hand. The relationships between RNs and NAs on our unit has been a bit tense in the past, but I think that was mostly a personality issue and things right now are pretty good. Our patient population tends to be very acute, so occasionally patients will get to you... but there is always the ear of another RN to listen to you vent! Some patients stick around for a long time (months) and you have the opportunity to form a professional relationship with them... but unforunately, most of the time you are too busy and task-oriented to focus on much psycho-social.
Hope this helps!
