Tips to Help You Float Along

Floating from unit to unit continues to be a way of life for all nurses, not just those who work for agencies.

As a Favorite Nurse you may be asked to float to like areas based on your work areas upon arrival to your assignment. Here are some tips to help you float along:

Introduce yourself – Make sure you meet the charge nurse or resource person as well as the rest of the staff and that you’re clear about your role.

Be clear about your assignment – Every unit has idiosyncrasies and expectations. Ask what you are expected to do as part of your routine.

Make those patients “yours” for the day - As agency nurses, we are used to jumping in and becoming part of the unit. Always think of your handling of patients and their families as the way you would want your own family to be treated.

Be clear about your limitations – If you are unsure and uncomfortable about a procedure, don’t take chances. Let your supervisor know that assistance is needed.

Ask questions – If you don’t understand, ALWAYS ask! Patient care and safety always come first.

Favorite Nurses wants you to be a valuable resource to the clients and patients. If you feel that you are being treated unfairly or if you are put in an unsafe situation that you feel you are unqualified for, contact your local branch office. We are available to help you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
