FORT WORTH, TEXAS - Fort Worth is the fifth-largest city in the state of Texas, 18th-largest city in the United States, and voted one of "America's Most Livable Communities."
Situated in North Texas, Fort Worth covers nearly 300 square miles in Tarrant and Denton counties, serving as the county seat for Tarrant County. As of the 2006 U.S. Census estimate, Fort Worth had a population of 653,320. The city is the second-largest cultural and economic center of the Dallas--Fort Worth--Arlington metropolitan area (commonly called the Metroplex), the fourth-largest metropolitan area in the U.S. with a population of 6 million in twelve counties.
Long Term Acute Care Nurse
Bridging the transition from intensive care to home, nurses in long-term acute-care hospitals draw on their critical-care skills while building professional relationships with patients and families.
Most LTAC patients transfer from an intensive-care unit and are receiving ventilator assistance. Some have large open wounds or other acute problems. They may be on inotropic agents and in need of careful monitoring. LTAC patients, age 18 on up, stay an average of 25 days or longer.
As part of an interdisciplinary team, LTAC nurses aggressively wean patients off their ventilators and drips. Patients get up, even while on the vent.
LTAC nurses agree that the most challenging aspect of care is managing multiple, long-term, complex medical conditions, multiple system failures and patient anxiety.
The majority of LTAC patients go home or to a rehabilitation or long-term care facility.
LTAC nurse staffing depends on patient acuity, ranging from one-on-one with a patient who had recently coded to five- or six-to-one when caring for relatively stable ventilator patients.
Most LTACs hire experienced nurses, primarily in critical care. LTAC nurses work more autonomously than typical in critical care. Unlike in an ICU, the physician is on call, not in the unit.
