General Comments
What units are included the float pool? We have 2 MS depts (Ortho/Neuro) and Telemetry. Depending on the skill level, they may also work PCU. They also may be sent down to the ED area to take care of admitted patients who are waiting on a bed upstairs.
How many units would they float across? There is a slight possibility of floating to our sister facilities but that is a rare occurrence.
How often can they expect to float during a single shift? Typically assigned to only 1 unit per shift. There maybe a rare occasion that they are moved to a different unit because of the census.
What are the ratios? Typically it is 1:6 in the depts, and if they are in the ED holding area, those are usually 1:4-5.
