I am a student doing a research on clinical problems encountered by nurses working at the TCU or stepdown units.

Any suggestions?

Thanks! :D

I agree 100%. Without a doubt, the BIGGEST problem in our unit. These patients are stepdown for a reason. The Nurse:Patient Ratio kills us. This past week I had 4 complete patients, 2 vents and 2 trach collars.
