As the covid pandemic getting worsen in worldwide, there is an increase in demand for more trained nurses to avail new facilities. At present due to this pandemic what world is facing, there is a need for other solutions besides increasing recruitment rate. A time-motion study of nurses’ workload can assist us in determining how nurses spend their time on during their working shift. Results of the current study demonstrated main processes (communication, documentation, bedside care, transportation, attending call, and admission process) that can be improved upon. Some of these processes do not require skilled nurses; and can be performed by other staff members. In Future studies can target on the effectiveness of strategies to improve the efficiency and quality of nursing care.
