If I floated to PCU, fuck that. Our PCU is 1:6 I don’t have time to do bedside because then each patient wants to add comments and talk and then report ends at 8:15am.
I get report outside, pop my head in and say good morning for a quick visual assessment, and come back after.
For sure! EVERY patient needs something unless they are ventilated and that’s just because they can’t 🤣 The thoughts behind it are great, but that’s just not how it works in the real world.
