It is an unsafe practice to float nurses that are unfamiliar with a particular floor to work there. There was also a float nurse that could be called to help at night, but she had to cover the entire hospital. Many of our internal float nurses, what we refer to as "HOP" nurses, would go to each floor to examine each needs list and sign up only for those assignments and floors they preferred to work," explains Scott Huska, clinical staffing coordinator at Beaufort Memorial. |
