Where I work we were also having this problem, but we have implemented the use of Paramedics into the team. The nurses were getting burned out quickly because of the high patient turnover and we really needed help. The Paramedics are able to assist with many items including IV's, triage, meds, etc., but the overall care still stays with the RN. We work as a team and it has helped, RN turnover has greatly deminished and it gives the Paramedics the experience to keep up their licenses.
