On my floor (ortho/neuro/trauma), the turn around seems to be really quick. I usually discharge half my team during my eight hour shift and get a couple of admissions to replace the discharges.
My (day) shift goes like this:
-Start with 6 patients
-Discharge 2 or 3 of them
-Get 1 or 2 admissions
I'm curious to see if this is typical for most floors.
How many admissions and discharges do you average during your shift?
What specialty do you work?
What shift (days, PM's or nights)?
Thanks!
