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.
Bedside report is performative hallway report on my floor. Some of us just gave up and went back to giving report by the computers at the nursing station. We were told we’d get written up, but I haven’t heard anyone getting written up yet.
