CantHardlyWait

I am asking this for my aunt who is an RN. She works on the telemetry unit. Another floor has now taken on patients with moniters and the nurses on that floor said they couldnt read the moniters as was expected because they had no experience with them. SO to fix this problem the hospital has the moniters on that floor hooked up to the Tele floor and any time a nurse cannot read a moniter they are to call the tele floor, have them pull up the pts moniter and tell them read the moniter to them. My aunt feels this is illegal somehow but cant figure out how. It just does not seem right at all. It almost seems that it adds to your number of pts to me. There have been problems already. Of course the nurses on the telle unit dont know anything abt these pts and dont have their charts...etc Any imput from anyone on this please?
