Adding a Floater

You can designate a nurse to be a floater for a specified number of hours, starting at the beginning of the current hour.

1. In the Staff Assignment screen, click Add/Remove Floater.
   Note: This link is available only when the Enable Floater setting is set. See Account Settings for more details on account settings.
2. To add a floater, in the Add Floater pane, select the checkbox of the nurse that you want to designate as a floater.

   Nurses who are the primary or secondary nurse for one or more beds are displayed with a red background.

   
3. To remove an existing floater, in the Remove Floater pane, select the checkbox of the nurse that you want to remove from the floater list.
4. Click Apply. The floater list is now updated.

   By default, a floater's shift lasts for 12 hours. To change this, set the Default Floating Duration option in the general account settings. See Account Settings - General for more details.
