title: Evaluating nursing intensity: it's time to transfer the patient.
abstract: Admission and discharge criteria are important decision-making components. Nursing care and management must be considered an imperative part of this criteria. The Nursing Evaluation of Nursing Intensity could identify those patients that may be passed over under standard admission criteria to Intensive Care Units. This tool augments the transfer process as well as helps to determine patient location.
