title: Stat nursing--the final analysis.
abstract: Stat nursing was designed to alleviate short-term workload fluctuations occurring in intensive care units (ICUs). The stat nurses (SNs) "rove" throughout the hospital, using a priority schedule to intervene in short-term staffing crises that include, but are not limited to, code blues, ICU postoperative recoveries, ICU patient transports for radiological procedures, ICU patient admissions, ICU bedside procedures, technical consultation, trouble-shooting equipment and i.v. therapy.
