[ For myself- I work the ER- having a second person to explain the whole situation to, who didn't know the patient, where anything was, or the unit paperwork, it would make things more difficult, not less. Give me someone who knows the unit's supplies and policies, (like a charge) and someone that I've been keeping up to date as the situation unfolded so she would be ready to jump in and help when I needed her. Please....the charge nurses are worthless, you need someone with critical care skills.
