what exactly is a relief nurseRating: (votes: 0) Thanks for the help! Coverage for full timers to have 2 days off perhaps? It would help to know the nature of the specialty. Med-Surg? Maybe coverage for nurses on vacation? Comment:
Its for a NICU
Comment:
All I know about them is that they are nurses who cover others during mandatory breaks.
Comment:
We have several break nurses here in the OR, because we literally cannot leave the OR during a case (which may be our entire shift) unless we are relieved by another RN. Relief nurses are assigned a number of nurses to relieve, and they will only have a given assignment for about 30 minutes at a time. They also give 15 minute breaks, if time allows, and might take over a room or patient assignment if the regular nurse has a doctor's appointment and has to leave early.I'm not sure if this is similar to the NICU job, but that is my understanding of relief nursing.
