Hey Buckeye.nurse, This sounds like a similar system to what we are trying to achieve - however the allocation is less flexible and we have only a handful of staff who are actually trained to give chemo. eek. Does your resource nurse only work day shift or do they cover all shifts? Are most of your staff trained in chemotherapy admin? - do you feel this system works well? #oops about the double post - still figuring this out.

Hey. Thanks for your response. I realize my question is a little vague. Do the nurses who are administering chemo also have a patient allocation (if yes how many?) or are they supernumerary? Are the trained nurses expected to attend other areas/wards in the hospital to give chemo? Background: Im a little concerned about some recent changes at work and am trying to gauge what others do.

Hey Everyone. Just want to get others insights on how their organization goes about giving chemotherapy to admitted patients (i.e not a clinic environment). Thanks
