Nurse escorts' perceptions of nurse-led inter-hospital ambulance transfer in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia: A descriptive survey study

CONCLUSION: Wheatbelt nurse escorts were capable, generalist nurses with a demonstrated skill set in managing patient care during transfer when needed. The 'back of the ambulance' was a challenging environment for nurses to engage in the type of care usually provided in the hospital setting, which come with a high level of uncertainty and anxiety for both patient outcome and own well-being.PMID:38014490 | DOI:10.1111/ajr.13067
