About this episode
Being an awesome nurse often boils down to the ability to seemingly get 20 things done all at once while making it look like a walk in the park. Of course, this is an exaggeration...but if you've ever seen an experienced nurse manage his/her patients with apparent ease, you may have thought, "how on earth does s/he do it?" In this podcast episode, we talk about how nurses get sh#% done through the effective use of smart time management, delegation and prioritizing. Awesome things we talk about include: * How do you know what your patient needs right now? * How do you know what to do first when your patient needs several things all at once? * You've got ten meds to give and only one IV line...which ones go in first? * What can you delegate and to who should you delegate it? * How do you start your shift to set yourself up for success? ___________________ FREE CLASS - If all you've heard are nursing school horror stories, then you need this class!
