When inside the hospital you only need to dial the last 5digits (6-xxxx for 966-xxxx, etc). If there are extra nurses’ phones,then they can be checked out at the Head Unit Coordinator (HUC)’sdesk to have for calling consults on rounds, etc. Do NOT take thesehome. They are extremely expensive and work only on the UNCintranet.Each ward team now has a Sprint cell phone, which can be used toreturn pages, call consults, etc. during rounds. These phones areresponsibility of EACH TEAM.
