EEO/AA/Disability/Veteran Responsibilities Unit: Celentano 2 Yale New Haven Hospital, Saint Raphael Campus Observation RN Observation nursing lies between emergency nursing and inpatient nursing- it is fast-paced and assessment-focused.

These patients usually stay in the hospital 12-48 hours while doctors determine whether they need an inpatient admission or can be safely discharged.
