this was a great first job

I learned so much working here. Although the management aspect was lacking when it came to policy and procedure I enjoyed my time there.

Challenging and Educating

A typical day would be carrying a patient caseload of approximately 7 pts, with atleast 1 or 2 being total care's, being in charge of narcotic keys, listen to report. Start shift off by making sure the pharmacy has sent all required IV's for shift. Organizing meds, IV's, treatments for evening. Looking over patients information to get familiar with what they are here with or what type of surgery they are post op. Preparing a list of who to see first past on acuity. Go around and introduce myself to patients, see what there needs are, making sure oxygen is hooked up, if pt's are in pain, if vitals are WNL, making sure patients are stable. Calling MD for medications if needed. Reviewing lab results, collecting urine/feces specimens, calling IV team for lab draws. Making sure all IV ports are working. Placing TPN to patients that need. Checking skin, doing blood sugars and adm insulin as needed. Implementing plan of care using the policies of an LPN.
