Nursing Judgement – nursingandknitting

https://nursingandknitting.com/2015/01/13/nursing-judgement

Nursing, knitting and mental health on the night shift. January 13, 2015. January 13, 2015. When a nurse gives a medication, why does he or she do it? By what you see? Nurses don’t always see the same thing. Patients don’t always exhibit the same behavior to each person. Communication is everything in nursing (a fact that no one tells you in school), but when different nurses don’t see the same thing, what can you do? Are the rules different in long term care vs. acute care? I’m still trying develo...

Nursing, knitting and mental health on the night shift. Doing homework – Day 1 – Intro. August 3, 2015. August 3, 2015. I’ve enrolled myself in Blogging 101, because I really think that it’s time this blog becomes a priority. And if I figure out to write effective blog posts here I can write decent posts in other places. So I graduated from nursing school about a year ago (how did that happen? So welcome to nursing and knitting! I’m glad you stopped by. August 3, 2015 at 4:00 pm. August 3, 2015 at 4:00 pm.

Nursing, knitting and mental health on the night shift. I have to remember. May 25, 2016. I have to remember that the residents I serve are somebody’s family. It’s way too easy to forget that. It is way too easy to only remember the difficulties and the issues and the clinical problems that surround them. It is way too easy to work on a sort of auto-pilot, where you know what to do if this comes up and what to do if that happens. Yes, that knowledge is valuable. May 21, 2016. May 21, 2016.

What the administration wants to hear…..and what we actually mean – nursingandknitting

https://nursingandknitting.com/2014/12/25/what-the-administration-wants-to-hear-and-what-we-actually-mean

Nursing, knitting and mental health on the night shift. What the administration wants to hear….and what we actually mean. December 25, 2014. December 25, 2014. Saying I was thoroughly confused due to the fact that I had been oriented by pool staff, wasn’t going to be valuable comment. She couldn’t change it, and I’ve been on orientation on days for three weeks. It was the best that they could do. I wasn’t going to whine either. If we could be completely honest, what kind of healthcare could we create?

Looking like a professional – nursingandknitting

Nursing, knitting and mental health on the night shift. Looking like a professional. October 20, 2014. October 20, 2014. Doctors can (and do) wear anything. No one questions their professionalism. People who work in software make a point of wearing jeans and a T-shirt. Business people follow complicated intricate rules for professional attire, but again, it is something that allows for significant and substantial variation. Can you look professional if you are wearing essentially street clothes? I suppos...

Nursing, knitting and mental health on the night shift. Working the night shift – part 1. August 4, 2015. That’s still reasonably early! The other reason I like the nights is that it is quiet. Or at least it is supposed to be quiet. When it isn’t (I have a resident running around, or somebody popped a fever, or something), you can concentrate on the problem, not everything else on the floor. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

Nursing, knitting and mental health on the night shift. December 25, 2014. December 25, 2014. Holidays pose a problem for medical facilities. Somehow they have to keep going. Long term care residents still must be fed, bathed, and cared for regardless of what day it is. So someone has to work. This year I’m not scheduled for it, but next year I will be. More skill in scheduling and in logistics? What the administration wants to hear….and what we actually mean. December 25, 2014. December 25, 2014. BeingM...

A new title, a new look, and a new focus – nursingandknitting

https://nursingandknitting.com/2014/10/15/a-new-title-a-new-look-and-a-new-focus

Nursing, knitting and mental health on the night shift. A new title, a new look, and a new focus. October 15, 2014. October 15, 2014. And other problems which affect nursing but not are actually part of it will also be a focus. I also want to focus on ideas for maintaining our own health. For better or for worse, when we tell our patients about our latest run, advice concerning a greater need for exercise is easier to swallow. At least they know we follow our own advice.
