Question
Answered step-by-step
Asked by jimin.b

You are a new registered nurse, having graduated just 4 months ago from nursing school. When you arrive for work tonight, you are told that because your unit is experiencing a low census, you must float to another unit again. This is the third night in a row that you have been required to float, and the last two nights were to two different units. When you question why it is your turn to float again, you are told that this is the last night you will work before having 3 days off and that it makes more sense to have you go than to have someone else who will be working the next few nights and could provide continuity of care. Another nurse says that this is the last night for her in a 7-day work stretch and that it would not be fair for her to have to float at this point. In addition, one of the nurses says she has not been cross-trained for the unit needing staff, and another one says that she is there only because she swapped nights with another nurse as a personal favor and therefore should not have to float. The charge nurse recognizes your frustration but says that because the current floating policy is not clear, she had to make a decision and selected you to float. She invites you, though, to help her create a written floating policy that is fairer to all.

Question

You feel that the lack of a clearly written policy about floating resulted in arbitrary and unfair treatment, and you decide to use your upcoming days off to begin work on a new policy which comprehensively covers all aspects of floating. Create such a policy. Make sure it addresses the qualifications necessary to float as well as how floating will be determined when employee needs and arguments are conflicting.

ask your peers to review your floating policy. Do they feel your policy is comprehensive? Clear? Safe? Fair?
