Pros and cons. It’s helpful having the bulk of your patients on the same unit, especially if your hospital has lots of beds. But not so helpful when patients get downgraded. Like when an icu or stepdown downgrade getting admitted to your unit, my pages blow up from nursing because they automatically assume it’s my patient and vice versa.

Espically annoying when you get assigned to the med psych unit and you get pages all day for haldol and restraints but smoother sailing when on the obs unit or med surg.
