Nurse satisfaction and creation of an admission, discharge, and teaching nurse position.

The goal of this study was to evaluate the effect of a newly developed nurse admission, discharge, and teaching position on nurse satisfaction and the quality of the admission and discharge process. A pretest-posttest design was used to collect data on nurse satisfaction, workload, and medication reconciliation. Study results supported the use of an admission, discharge, and teaching nurse to improve nurse satisfaction and the quality of the admission and discharge process.
