Thanks, i would love to see it. My email is [email protected] Thank you

agreed...we have one, it just does not seem to capture what we need. Do you have one?

Does anyone have an acuity tool?

Thanks so much:yeah:

Do you know the reference for the research articles?

I am seeking information on staff assignements. Do you have guidelines? Do you assign a nurse to only IMCN infants or only NICU infants or a combination? Do you do "primary nursing?" What is your ratio of staff to infant? How is your unit set up? Do you have Pods, individual rooms or one large area? We have Pods and it really makes assignments difficult at times...esp when there is ebb and flow in census. We do a lot of moving. Thanks for your time.

Did you ever find the paper with the "appropriate" staffing guidelines?
