Subject: critical care nursing question

I need to start a template on how to give an accurate nursing report to the next shift. I need
some ideas of what questions should be asked and what information should always be given
when giving report to the next shift. I would like to start from the top with neuro, then
respiratory, cardiac, GI, GU, skin, IV's, meds, labs, etc. I would like to include in report for
example under respiratory what size et-tube, where it is taped at etc, under IV's be very
specific about the drips. Concentration, rate in cc's and then in mcg's or mgs, whatever the
case may be. I find the new nurses do not know what to include in report. Any suggestions?

How did any of you choose your synthesis rotation (facility or unit),
including your specialty areas (excluding ED, ICU, PICU)? I have
several choices and don't know what to choose:
1. Medsurge telemetry (I love cardio)
2. Ortho
3. L&D-I don't want to go here, even though I enjoyed the rotation
because I want to work on a medsurge floor.

Facilities:
1. I can have up to 8 patients but will learn a lot and the facility
has a sign on bonus and even a loan forgiveness program.
2. Up to 6 patients, but the facility has no loan forgiveness program
and pays possibly the lowest nursing salary.
3. I will also learn, but not as much.
4, 5, and 6: I don't know anything about them.

Thank you.

I just returned after five years of not nursing at all - as long as you know your limits, ask question instead of making mistakes, be confident and it will just be like getting back on a bike.

Good Luck

Thanks for everyones replies... I think though, it is scaring me not to go back to ICU yet!!!! I have a tendency to underestimate my knowledge and while I am told differently, I always feel I don't know enough... Even when I was working in ICU, I did not feel ready for CCRN - level. But I think with some review I can be safe.... I always feel comfortable asking questions if I don't know something or asking for help if I need it.

Thanks again

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!!

Hi, Tammy,

Sorry, but you can’t get a copy of BKAT without paying for it. It’s protected. Our very own nursebob site is great to help you feel comfortable about strips, though, and as “mammabear” (sorry, there was no name on the posting) noted, ACLS will be good to review if you don’t already know it working on PCU (you can find it online by googling “ACLS protocols”).

There are a few other online places you might try, such as http://www.medi-smart.com/megacode1.htm (has 2 Mega Code case studies), http://www.medi-smart.com/megacode3.htm (case study for chest pain), http://www.medi-smart.com/cc20.htm (ARDS network), http://www.medi-smart.com/cc-blau.html (cardiac exam and auscultation tutorials), http://www.ecglibrary.com, http://sprojects.mmi.mcgill.ca/heart/egcyhome.html, http://www.geocities.com/HotSprings/8154 (go to “gameroom” for a cardiac crossword), and http://www.pacep.org (for PA cath practice).

Actually, just go to http://www.medi-smart.com/criticalcare.htm and the whole page has a lot of links that will be helpful for anyone in critical care.

Good luck in getting back into critical care. I returned after almost 3 years out with my back and another year in school/nonbedside capacity, and it’s amazing how it stays with you. You just keep up with journals and what you hear, and since you’ve been in PCU you are ahead of the game. But they will still need to give you an orientation period, and that’s when you will be able to focus on what’s changed since the last time you were back in the ICU.

Mary

I believe that AACN has an online comprehensive Critical Care Course. It may be expensive. The CCRN program at Great Nurses is not in-depth enough, IMHO for a critical care course, or refresher for someone who has been out for awhile. It was great when I took my CCRN exam, but it was geared toward passing the exam. If you want to try your own course of study, stay on the Nurse Bob's site and just look up critical care sites on the internet, and I would recommend at least spending for one good Critical Care book. Again, go to the AACN site and see what they have to offer.

Hi Tammy,

I suggest for you to read and have a comprehensive understanding of MI, CHF, DM, ARDF, CAD, SEPSIS and all other common diseases that are the most deadly in the ICU. Have a thourough understanding of their pharmaceutical, diagnostic and treatment modalities and the relationship between them and relationship to nursing care and management.

End of life care, pt family, ICU post traumatic syndrome, management of aggressive behavior among other topics that can help you manage the care of the patient.

Nurse Bob has a lot of topics that are very useful, so study all of them. Once you are working in the ICU the accuity of the patient that they give you will increase over time (make sure you feel competent in the care of each pt).

Best wishes on your professional growth and developement goals.

Lucy
p.s. advance pathophysiology, physical assessment, pharmacology, cardiology, etc books.

Hi all,

We are looking for a critical care acuity scoring system that actually reflects and validates the staffing levels we need for particular patients. If you have something that works well, would you be willing to share it with me. You can e-mail me directly. Thank you in advance.

[New Indicator for Blood Clot

Girls tend to think its nothing, remember we are not invincable ladies.
Blood Clots/Stroke - They Now Have a Fourth Indicator, theTongue.

I will continue to forward this every time it comes around!

STROKE: Remember The 1st Three Letters.... S.T.R.

Please read:

STROKE IDENTIFICATION:

A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke... totally . He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.

RECOGNIZING A STROKE

Thank God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR . Read and Learn!

Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke
.
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:

S * Ask the individual to SMILE.

T * Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently)
(i.e. It is sunny out today)

R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call 999/911 immediatelyand describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

New Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick out Your Tongue

NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out his tongue.. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other , that is also an indication of a stroke.

A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved.
