    AbstractRapid response team (RRT) is a patient care concept that has received nationwide attention as a resource for hospital staff nurses. Once nurses identify a patient who is clinically declining, they call upon the assistance of the RRT member. Within an 800-bed acute care hospital, a job satisfaction survey tool was developed to ask licensed staff on an orthopaedic unit what type of impact the RRT has on their job satisfaction. Survey results revealed that this approach to patient care is significantly important in the orthopaedic nurse job satisfaction and an effective recruitment and retention tool for nurses in the orthopaedic arena.
