Our facility is trying to set up team nursing and I’m trying to do some research on the subject. I have not been able to find any info. I would like to know how team nursing works and how to go about initiating it on our floor.

    At the hospital I worked at it was one RN and one PCA working together with the same patients, instead of the PCA working with two or three RN’s. I loved working that way. I felt my patients got better care, and the RN’s didn’t get confused as to who had their patient.

    Historically in my experience team nursing has not worked because their in always like one nurse who ends up doing it all. At the hospital i worked at we had 2 lpns who had pods and one rn would oversee them hanging the meds or doing the things the lpns couldnt do. So basically a small group would be a team for an x amount of patients. During breaks or such one would go and the others would cover. Doesnt sound like what you already do?
