:grn:my hospital is trying to cut corners due to low census. So here is what they are doing. I work on a 10 bed rehab unit. our average amt of pts is 4-7. Now they want to pull my lpn to the medsurg floor from 11-7, leaving the rn by theirself. If the census on the medsurg floor is low they wont pull the nurse. Now even with 4 pts im very uncomfortable and nervous all night long by myself. what if some one codes or im giving meds in one room and someone is trying to get out of bed in another room? And we have alot of pts with dementia, alzehimers and stroke pts with impulse issues. What do yall think? Is this safe? Can they do this? Is it legal?
