I just started at a new hospital. During orientation they said most units have turn teams, where a nurse and a tech go around every 2 hours to turn the patients. Someone is assigned each shift. Cool. My only problem is it every 2 hours I have to get up and turn 20+ patients (working neuro a majority of patients are on Q2 turns), how the hell am I supposed to get my work complete? I can completely do it for my 5 patients, but the entire unit? Anyone have experience with turn teams? Are there any pros to them?

I just wanted to wish you all a happy nurse’s week! Cheers to good sleep and a shot after shift!
