Patient ratio is an issue to start. Ideally, ICU ratio is 2 patients to 1 nurse. A floor nurse ratio can be as bad as 8:1. (And yes, that's absolutely crazy and unsafe, but that's the state of healthcare currently.)
The experience is just completely different. Not that they can't do it. It's just not something they're used to on a daily basis. Monitoring vitals, getting ABG's, managing pressors, handling lines, that's just stuff that's different from their day to day. There are plenty of smart floor nurses that can do it if they had time and training.

That is who they are tapping to do it. Trying to keep 1:1 in order to help.
