Adding a secondary employee to a patient assignment

A secondary employee is a licensed employee, for example, an additional RN or an LPN, assigned to work with a primary employee.

If you are assigning a nurse trainee to a preceptor, follow the steps in this section. Nurse trainees display in the Employee list with titles of "RN / ORI" (for RN in Orientation) or "RN / TRN (for RN in Training). Primary employees display in the list with "RN / WRK" (for RN working)."

  1. Select Clinical Science > Assignments > Patient Assignments.
  2. Verify that the correct Assignment Parameters have been selected. If they have not, select the data from the appropriate search boxes above the header. You can scroll, filter or perform a search to locate the data.
  3. On the Employees list, click Primary Employees or All Employees and select the employee from the list.
  4. On the Assignment panel on the left side of the screen, expand the primary care RN to whom the secondary Employee should be assigned and click the + symbol for Add Secondary Employee.
