How RNs rescue patients: a qualitative study of RNs' perceived involvement in rapid response teams

How RNs rescue patients: a qualitative study of RNs' perceived involvement in rapid response teams.

BACKGROUND Patients are admitted to hospitals everyday with clinical conditions that can change dynamically resulting in adverse outcomes. The rapid response team (RRT) intervention is a formalised resource to respond to the nurse's concerns about such patients before code arrest occurs. Registered nurses (RNs) are in a position to recognise critical changes and to rescue patients at the most o...

How Staff RNs Perceive Nurse Manager Roles

Purpose: Nurse managers’ behaviors and job satisfaction are commonly addressed in the literature; however, registered nurse perceptions of nurse manager behaviors provide a unique perspective that may inform future strategies designed to enhance RN job satisfaction. The purpose of this study was to assess the perceptions of registered nurses that were explored through focus groups to learn the ...

RNS based logarithmic adder

The operation of logarithmic addition was always eclipsed with heavy volumes of look-up tables. So with a goal to reduce the ROM size, an elegant and novel technique for logarithmic addition using RNS (Residue Number System) is demonstrated in this paper. To formulate this technique, the properties of Finite Fields and Finite Rings are exploited. A multiple base logarithm has been defined first...

RNS bases and conversions

Residue Number Systems (RNS) allow the distribution of large dynamic range computations over small modular rings, which allows the speed up of computations. This feature is well known, and already used in both DSP and cryptography. Most of implementations use RNS bases of three elements to reduce the complexity of conversions, but if can increase the number of RNS modular computational channels...
