“Dang it, I can’t find my brain!” A common expression heard among nurses. No, not our actual brain… it’s what nurses often refer to as their nursing report sheet! How much do nurses really actually know about their patients? Well, a lot. See for yourself! Nurses, this one’s for you.
The Ultimate Nursing Brain
Change is an inevitable part of travel nursing.
New hospital.
New policies & procedures.
New coworkers & management.
New charting system & requirements.
New patient population.
New equipment & resources.
While many facets of new work environments we may be unable to modify, what we do have, is control & power over our own skills & resources that we show up with to work everyday.
After traveling for over a year among four new hospital systems & units, my best piece of advice as a nurse is to stay organized. At any point within a 12 hour shift, an emergency situation such as a “code” a.k.a patient cardiac arrest, can occur. RN’s are often expected to know everything about all of their patients including past medical history, daily lab results, intake & output, current vitals, plan of care, etc. Luckily, I have created the perfect tool to set nurses up to achieve success within their nursing practice wherever they go… The Ultimate Nurse Brain!
