The answer is a nursing delivery system that we used in the late 70s and early 80s, it's called team nursing. Primary nursing is likely the dumbest, and greatest failure in the history of nursing. Here it is more then 20 years later, people still have trouble identifying the problem. But not the schools, they still train and produce nurses at various levels with a concept that RNs, LPNS, and CNAs or techs, work together to provide for the needs of the patient. I could write a doctoral thesis on this subject, but I'll leave it at that for now. Good for you guys, work together, let each nurse work their strengths. Maybe you can convince the powers that be you'd like to work as a team. You'll have more patients, but what you do for the patient will be more focused!
