Who is transporting your patients to the nursing unit? We have an LPN (RNA; Practical nurse) who transports the patient by himself; an RN accompanies the LPN when the patient is in a bed or if the patient has a PCA / EPIDURAL INFUSION.
IT is being suggested that a porter could transport the patient. What qualifications are required for the person who transports your patients

we have ER attendants and porters transport stable patients. They are orientated to their role upon hire. I am not aware of a course that they require, but recieve in-hospital training.
Unstable, paediatric or monitored patients are transported with an RN and a porter.
Stable pts with PCA or epidural also are transported with a porter
