On this episode, we talk through a full patient case (2 patients) in the COVID ICU on a busy night. Unlike our last "night in the life," this was the type of night where there was no time to get organized, review charts, or plan the day as we normally like to. This was a "put out fires and keep your head above water" type of shift that would not have been possible without an incredible team and a lot of asking for help. These are skills that all of us new nurses need to perfect and practice in our careers. There's a major difference between managing your time during a "stable" shift, and managing your time during a crazy shift. That is what we break down on today's episode.
