Hello! In my hospital nurses the budget is a hot topic now, and units are being asked to find any way to lower their operating costs. One of the ways the ICUs have approached this is to evaluate staffing in 4-hour increments, and readjust assignments in order to float RNs to cover "holes". This is causing a lot of dissatisfaction among staff. Continuity of care is affected. Management is not receptive to our discontent. Any ideas how to handle this? Contact a union? Travel? Thanks

I work in a CTICU that implants 2-3 VAD's a year, am looking for helpful nursing care information. Thank you.:)
