Oncoming nurse what do you say?
In order to wrap up your shift successfully, you need to do a final sweep of your room, orders, patient status, and a good nurse note. In this episode, we cover all end-of-shift duties.
When we first started nursing, there always was anxiety properly wrapping up a shift. Questions always ran through the mind of what else:
-What is my patient's status?
-Did I empty all my drains (foley, chest tube, Jp’s, canisters)
-What are all the orders for the patient, are there new ones?
-Should I give that 7:30 med?
-Did I write a note for my patient?
A usual report is around 5-15 minutes per patient depending on specialty. One of the most frequent errors during a shift report is forgetting critical information. You should use different colors on your report sheet to highlight the important information.
