Priority Actions to take when Floating

Floating is defined as “the reassignment of staff from one nursing unit to another based upon the patient census and acuities”. Floating is difficult and has always been a problem for nurses but safe patient care is always the goal. Floating is a reality that often cannot be avoided, particularly in the hospital setting. Floating may cause anxiety, stress, overwhelming, scary, draining, dissatisfaction, disruptive, and feeling of frustration even to a very experienced and skillful nurse to be pulled to work on a unit outside her/ his comfort zone. This might be caused by discomfort from unfamiliarity related to diverse patient population, staff, unit, and the processes to a work on a different department. Working in unfamiliar area makes nurses uneasy by not knowing what to expect. Yes, they know how to take care of the patients but without proper orientation to the unit/ area one will be floating is not easy. Whenever staff members are sent to float to an unfamiliar unit, it is expected that at least they will be able to perform the basic assessment and skills.

What Should the Registered Nurse Do When She/He Has to Float?

Before accepting patient assignment when floating to a different unit…

1. Make sure you have the necessary knowledge, judgement, skills, and ability to provide the required patient care. The nurse should not accept any patient care assignment he/ she is not competent to deliver the care but instead accept limited assignment of nursing care duties you can utilize your current competence.
2. Remember that the department you are floating will be glad to have you to help them decrease their patient work load. You will be responsible for your own actions and will be the one to face disciplinary action by a State Board of Nursing if you are not competent to perform the assignment delegated to you.
3. Talk to the Charge Nurse of the unit you are floating if you refuse the assignment being given to you and discuss the reason of your refusal. Let him/ her know that you are there to help but they should give you patient assignments that you are competent and comfortable to handle. The Charge Nurse of your permanent unit may be able to help you as well in talking to the unit you are floating If they insist for you to take the assignment. You may seek the help of the Nursing Supervisor. You can write an incident report to cover yourself.

According to American Nurses Association (ANA), “Registered Nurses must have the professional right to accept, reject, or object in writing to any assignment that puts patients or themselves at serious risk for harm.” The Joint Commission on floating clearly states that when an employee is asked to float to a different unit, that unit must be similar to his or her own and that the nurse must demonstrate competencies specific to that unit. Furthermore, the assigned employees should be floated to areas of comparable clinical diagnoses and acuities.

Initial Discussion Assignment:

You are a nurse on a medical-surgical unit that is currently well staffed with each nurse at a 3:1 ratio. There were two call outs in the oncology unit and it is your turn to float. The charge nurse informs you that you are being floated to the oncology unit and that you have been assigned to care for four patients.

Your discussion posting must address all of the following issues:

1. Summarize the concepts of floating that were addressed in the attached articles.
2. What steps would you take in this scenario to ensure a safe transition into the unfamiliar unit?
3. Why are these steps important?
4. What are some of the legal ramifications that can occur if you accept an assigned that is out of your scope of practice?

On less familiar ground Strategies aim to reduce random floating, improve the experience.pdf 

Older adults (OA) are at risk for potential hazards of hospitalization, these include: immobility, delirium, medication side effects, malnutrition, pressure ulcers, procedures, peri- and postoperative periods, and hospital-acquired infections and more. Discuss in detail three potential hazards for this population while in the hospital and identify potential prevention strategies for each hazard.

Your initial posting should be at least 400 words in length and utilize at least one scholarly source other than the textbook. Please reply to at least two classmates. Replies to classmates should be at least 200 words in length.

Discussion Forum One:

Consider the components of the pastoral spiral. 

 *   Read and review the powerpoint above.  It is prompting you to consider your service using a guide or pathway to help organize your thoughts… such is the pastoral spiral. 

* After reading (and pondering) the Pastoral Cycle PowerPoint, respond to these four questions.   

1.  What gifts and talents do you bring to those you serve?

2. After reading the powerpoint, can you identify 2 ways that the elements of the Pastoral Spiral expand your definition of charity?  In other words, what elements in the pastoral cycle have caused you to reflect more deeply on your service to others?  How might these new insights reflect in your volunteering?

3.  What is your definition of social justice?

4.  How do you currently go about your work for social justice? 

Write in the space provided; do not attach a document. If you wish to compose in Word (a good way to check your spelling and grammar) and then cut and paste, feel free to do so. Your reflection should be geared to the service you are currently performing for CSE Service Learning but can extend beyond that to other services with which you may have been engaged.

You will be graded on your response (300-400 words)
