How long did it take you to complete the Comprehensive Form?
You currently work on a med-surgical unit in a medium-size hospital. The usual nurse-to-patient ratio is 1:5, which you feel is a heavy, but manageable, patient load. You arrive for your 7A to 7P shift and are told that, due to several RNs calling in sick with the flu, you will need to take nine patients. You question if additional staff is available from another unit, and you are told that administration is attempting to get help for the unit, but that none is available at this time. You then state, “I will take the assignment, but I must first claim Safe Harbor.”
