Is anyone here a part of or does your hospital participate in a Rapid Response Team. Our hospital sent me to a conference a couple of weeks ago and now I am supposed to come up with criteria for a team. The RRT will be members of Critical Care that will go thru out the hospital to the various floors and areas when a nurse has a patient that they are feeling uncomfortable with. Either the patients vital signs are declining or just that the floor nurse feels uncomfortable with the patient and wants an extra set of experienced eyes to look at a patient before the patient crashes. It is supposed to be more of a nurses helping nurses type of program rather than the unit nurses coming to take over. Anyone with any expeirence with a program like this. I am wondering how the nurses involved respond to this. Do the floor nurses feel like they are looked down on if they have to call for help or do the nurses on the RRT feel put out for having to go help. Any input will be appreciated.
