Should I Assist in Wheeling Patients at the Time of Discharge? (Video)

One of the things that I sometimes do is wheel patients off the floor when they are discharged or wheel elderly visitors to the front entrance.

Why?

Sometimes it’s just to get off the unit. Other times, it’s to assist the nurses, or the volunteers' wait time was too long. In the hospital that I worked on, the volunteers did not wheel the patients down, so it was on us staff members to help the patients.
