Rationale:
Since some employees are opposed to a rotation of Action Team assignments, the Union has decided to ask all of our ICU nurses to provide their professional opinion on the subject by adding the following question to the Survey:
In your professional opinion, should every ICU nurse be given an opportunity to learn the Action Team workflow and to perform in a role of Action Team RN?
| Choices | Response % | Response Count |
| Yes, every ICU nurse should be given an opportunity to learn the Action Team workflow and be capable of performing in a role of Action Team RN. | 69.37 % | 77 |
| No, the opportunity to learn the Action Team workflow and to perform in a role of Action Team RN should be limited to only few of our ICU nurses. | 16.22 % | 18 Only 3 of these RNs are members of our current Action Team |
| I am Not sure | 14.41 % | 16 |
| Please provide a rationale for your answer (if any) | N/A | 31 |

Statistical Analysis: The survey results clearly demonstrate that between 63.89% and 74.85% of our ICU nurses have stated that in their professional opinion every ICU nurse should be given an opportunity to learn the Action Team workflow and to perform in a role of Action Team RN. These findings were calculated by using scientific formula at the highest possible 99% confidence level, with a margin of error of 5.48% and a p-score of 0.6937.
Conclusion: This result provides strong evidence that vast majority of our ICU nurses (including vast majority of our current Action Team members who completed this survey) strongly believe that every ICU nurse should be given an opportunity to learn the Action Team workflow and to perform in a role of Action Team RN. Their professional opinion re-enforces the crucial Ethical principles of Fairness and Equality ensuring that everyone is treated impartially and has equal opportunities, which in turn is very favorable to creation of more versatile and flexible nursing force in our ICU beneficial to our patients.
