you would have to rely on your team to help you out in that situation...if you
had a good charge nurse, you would not be assigned 5 critical patients at one
time. if all other nurses are busy, then you just have to do the best that you
can. the most important thing to do is to RAISE YOUR VOICE AND LET PEOPLE KNOW
THAT YOU NEED HELP N-O-W!!!!! it would be very unusual to have a whole ER full
of sick patients such as you mentioned, therefore, there should be help
available.

Was anxious about the following:
How do you find time to attend to the patients when more then one comes
in sypmtomatic. Do you get more than one active problem at a time.
Example 2 pts with chest pain, patient with stroke like symptoms,
patient unconscious. Would you get that many problems at the same time,
or is this a team effort. On the floor your assigned for example
5patients on my unit. So they come up relative stable with some
exceptions. However, in the ER they would be coming in symptomatic.
What are some time saving things that you do and how is it managed.

Thanks
