RN's are trained on all 3 positions. There are also 2 float positions. This is our MHAs role, but an RN or LPN can also work in this position. This position does rounds, takes vitals, passes out trays, helps to provide patient care, facilitates groups, etc. Our MHA's also take patient assignments just like our nurses. All staff positions take a patient load, can do patient groups, rounding, VS, etc. as well. Up to a 5:1 ratio but often less. Patient population is acute psychosis presentations - depression, bipolar, schizophrenia, suicidal, homicidal, dual diagnosis. No Emergency Department within our hospital.
