title: But is it nursing?
abstract: Should hospitals adopt a standardized workload measurement instrument? Would it lead to better and/or more objective staffing decisions? How would it affect nursing work and staff nurses? The author uses sociological research to address these and other questions about the implications of adopting a workload measurement instrument.
