What should the registered Nurse do when She/He has to float?

When a registered nurse is required to float, it is important for them to keep in mind that the patient always comes first. This means understanding their role and responsibilities in each new unit they are assigned to, getting up to speed with departmental procedures, and learning how to properly use any equipment they may encounter. Additionally, communication is key so nurses should take the time to speak with colleagues on other teams about their past experiences as well as any changes or updates that might have occurred since then.

Finally, it is also helpful for nurses to stay organized and proactive by anticipating potential problems ahead of time and making sure that all necessary paperwork is taken care of promptly. By following these steps it will hopefully help ensure smoother transitions between different units which should ultimately result in better patient care regardless of where they are assigned.
