I remember being a student, I'd be at awe with my mentors being able to remember what they're required to do for a handful of patients, through their shift...you'd get the normal routine stuff that needs doing, then doctor's orders, referrals to make, patient's needs/requests to answer, other nurses' asking for help, family wanting their needs/questions to be looked at.
man...as time pass...I'm sure people would develop, I've been working for 3 months now...and looking back, I remember struggling with my drug calculations, not knowing what procedure is required, what the normal is for kids, not knowing what to expect or look out for.
Now, I can do drug calculations on top of my head and get them correct, I can roughly know what to look out for, with some disease/illness, I know what to prepare for different patients, and ask the correct questions, I know who to ask and what to say, I can even understand people much better!
There's still so much more I need and could learn, and everyday I learn at least one thing new at work. Whether it be a new diagnosis, or treatment, or symptom, professional development or social lesson, there will be endless. I'll always continue learning....especially on time management!!! Maybe roller blades would do the trick huh?
