Never judge a book by it’s cover unless it’s a book, since professionals get paid to make good covers that is relevant to the book’s content.

I hit reblog so fucking fast and hard I broke my goddman laptop

[licensetomurse-deactivated20200]

Hi hello, I just started my nursing class and holy shit. Professors assign us to read 1-4 chapters and take notes. I’ve looked at each chapter of the book and each one have 20-30+ pages and reading and taking notes is a living hell, it’s frustrating. I just wanna get some advice from you on how to get through these chapters and take notes. Did you you read each chapters then took notes after or took notes while reading them. Need help 😭 expecting an exam in a few weeks.. thanks in advance

Dear Anon,

Here’s my advice:

Kidding! So, here’s what I did. First, I read the key notes at the end of each chapter. Boom! You now have a basic understanding of the chapter. Then I go back and read the headers of each section. Then I go back and read the first sentence of every paragraph. Then I go back and I read anything in bold. Then I read every caption for the illustrations/photos/graphs. Lastly, I re-read the key points and/or summary at the end of the chapter.

If you have time to read the entire chapter, do it. If not, the aforementioned technique may be helpful.

Good luck!

Standard 20g IV on left, 16g in the middle, and a 14g on the right. A 16g is like having four 20s, and a 14g is like having two 16s.

I know I sound annoying when I insist to give report, but I’m trying to do what’s best for you and the patient.

[opisaterf]

“the next nurse won’t be able to answer all your questions” and the floor nurse that’s taking report won’t be able to answer all the questions of the incoming floor nurse who’s actually going to be taking care of the patient. like lol what. it’s repeatedly been shown that most errors can be attributed to something missed in handoff and that the fewer handoffs that happen, the better for the patient. I realize you want to go home but realistically you should have been cognizant and tried to get the patient up sooner but you couldn’t/didn’t so now the responsible thing to do is take the hit, stay a little later, and wait to report to the oncoming nurse.

[licensetomurse-deactivated20200]

So, this just shows the disconnect between units. This floor nurses think ER nurses are slacking and purposefully waiting until shift change to get patients upstairs. The reality is that I’m waiting on admission orders, a bed assignment, and calling report as soon as I possibly can. Why? Because I have another stroke alert, trauma alert, seizure, stabbing, GSW rolling through the ambulance bay doors and I need a bed for that patient now.

I was an ICU nurse. When the ED called report, I took it, regardless of the time. They have a job to do and I have a job to do. I chose to work together for the best possible outcome. Nurses like this are the reason there is continued conflict and animosity between units.

I’ve walked a mile or two in both shoes, so I’ve been there and done that.
