While I think it is effective to work as a team and through partners. I think it is smarter to stagger all of the lunches due to the lack of people on the floor when half of the nurses decide to go on lunch at the same time. I think there needed to be more conversation via all the nurses and not just the partners. I think if the partner is extremely swamped they need to be vocal in telling their partner they probably should not leave yet because they would be unable to cover all of the patients. My unit did not have a list of what patient room numbers went with each nurse which left a lot of nurses’ scrabbling to figure out who they needed to find or call to help with various call lights. On another part of my unit there is a white board in clear site that says which nurses go with each
