Summary
Working as a Registered Nurse on 9 West, it has given me experience with patient assessments, time and patient management, patient advocacy, medication administration, interdisciplinary collaboration, wound care, dressing changes, along with tube and line management and care to name a few. Critical thinking and effective communication is something that is required from us with the acuity of the patients we serve on our floor between insulin drips, Q2 hour alcohol withdrawal assessments, blood transfusions, and TPN on a regular basis.
