I work in a 21 bed ER. We average about 120 patients a day. We recently switched from primary nursing to team nursing. THe team consists of 2 nurses. We don't seem to be grasping the team idea. As a group, we just divide up the rooms and call it good...Any ideas on ways to help us with grasping the team spirit?? Kim

We too have started a new team nursing system. We have three teams, yellow, green and red. The teams are assigned up to 7 rooms and have 2 nurses on them. The problem we are having is this is a change from a 4 room assignment, and we don't work as a team we just divide up the rooms like we did before. I was hoping for some ideas on how to help people work as a team....Any Ideas?? Kim
