    Should we give nimodipine every 4 hours and start giving fluids or vasopressor to increase Bp if there is hypotension

  • @CNP-rn3gd
    @CNP-rn3gd 20 днів тому

    Good advice and don't forget that your pharmacy needs to prepare this medication. If a trauma comes in, or the techs are on break, or the tube system is down, it can take a while to get the med. Plan ahead!

    The daytime rounds always gets me! I work in an ICU at a level one so the med students,NPs, attending etc all round at different times and throw in one order at a time. I’ve learned to just push the meds to the next med pass time rather than giving a new med every 15 minutes (unless it’s blood etc). Our transplant patients always throw me off too since the labs and meds are SO time critical but pharmacy doesn’t feel the same.

    • @ISeeU_Nurse

      I think we all have one of those moments where we have a vasoactive medication run dry! It is a good teaching moment for sure, and one that can make you panic a little bit depending on how labile the patients BP is.

    I’ve been a RN for many years and I set my days up like this as well. I often have time before shift report to look up the orders though because I often have to wait to get report from different nurses. I use that time from 0650-0730 to squeeze in time for looking up the orders and MAR, labs, notes, etc.

    • @justbe_kind

    • @ISeeU_Nurse
      @ISeeU_Nurse 7 місяців тому

      I totally understand that! Multidisciplinary rounds is a standard within critical care. However, the time in which they occur may be slightly different. I have had them at 0800 and then at 1000. Depends on the facility! It can be tough to navigate through the process of trying to see your patients and be prepared for MDR. Whenever I have early rounds, I try my best to at least assess patients quickly, then the care/meds can come later.

    @rachaeljensen4236 7 місяців тому

    I love facilities that have hospital wide nurse awareness duties. One place had a 9n9 protocol. They tried to schedule most all meds around 9a and 9p. That way everybody knew Not to bother nurses during med pass (so 8-10). Even the secretaries jumped in for patient questions and politely informed them and took notes for us to follow up. I think families appreciated it more too bc you dont have a nurse "ignoring" you or was "too busy". Ive also worked at a 5n5 facility. That was for clean up, stock, and turnover. Everybody was responsible to make sure anything you used was stocked, picked up, and turn over was mostly for housekeeping to have all beds/rooms ready BY then. It didnt matter if the patient just left at 1630. That room must be ready to accept an 1800 admission. This same place also had ER staff 6-6 and the rest of the hospital was 7-7, so we had REALLY good movement from ER to floors. We still had 7n7 "protected time" but it was only for the hour. AND this facility realy prioritized training staff to have the belief that the oncoming shifts responsibility was to get the prior shift done. So when you got your report you HAD to do a check in with all of your crew to see if anybody needed help. There could be a last minute code brown, but everybody was excellent team work. I floated ER/ICU/PCU... they were all fabulous and all the department attitudes were the same. I used 5 o'clock to make sure everything was ready for the oncoming staff, and when they got there it made hand offs so easy. In ICU if we had 1:1 we even did a full head to toe with the shift change nurse to compare any changes or questions in our assessments, ask about any concerning or pending orders or special needs etc. I really miss that place and wish everybody was like that ✌️ BTW- same place, ICU nurses also went to the ER and transported our own patients (with the ER tech). This way we could address everything before they left the department, get bedside report, ask the doctor questions/verification... it worked so great. Plus, having also been on the ER side, when I have several other critical patients and cant leave them and the ICU nurse doesnt have any (or 1 other) it doesnt make sense for the ER nurse to leave a technically unstable pt (especially according to EMTALA).

      Everyone works a little different. If there are other more important priorities, then charting is at the bottom of that list. However, for me charting things as I go has always been best for me. The good thing is that when you get out on your own, you can rearrange it how you would like.
