    Should a telemetry nurse be expected to float to a critical care unit?

    UM Review RN replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    UM Review RN replied to rmelvin's topic in General Nursing

    Thank goodness, our system uses an ID and a fingerprint. If we are in such a rush to get to a patient that we forget to log off, the machine times out after 30 seconds
