1. ICU staffing guidelines

   LaRose replied to radblt's topic in CCU

   It is not safe to leave one RN in any acute care setting alone or with just an aide or LPN/LVN. There need to be 2 RNs when even 1 patient is in this type of setting. Look for safety guidelines.

2. ICU staffing guidelines

   Have you checked the AACN (Critical Care) website? I believe that they require 1 nurse: 2 patients. You should be able to find some guidance there.

3. Visiting Hours

   LaRose replied to NURSJADED's topic in CCU

   I think hospitals are supposed to furnish a place for employees to secure their possessions while working - it is part of employee safety.

4. ICU Visiting Hours

   LaRose posted a topic in MICU

   What are your units doing about visiting hours these days - limited at set hours or more open or fully open? Do you have strong feelings about any particular method and why?

5. I Would Like Your Opinion.... am I right?

   LaRose replied to walk6miles's topic in MICU

   Someone posted that there should never be less than 2 nurses on a floor - especially in the ICU!!!! That is absolutely true. You are very lucky to get out of that situation. Have you contacted the state board of nursing about safety issues?
