Due to Budget cuts, our Telemety/CVCU unit is doing away with Tele Techs for every shift beginning Jan 1st. Doesn't this sound a bit unsafe? Both day and night shift nurses have 6-7 patients each. Night shift CNA's are also getting cut - no more CNA's from midnoc to 0600. Night shift nurse will have to prep any first case open heart with hibicleanse, sage wipes, etc and bring all their own patients to diagnostic areas if between 0000-0600. Our hospital Admin said this is becoming typical for many hospitals. Really???
