I did it! My first long day in charge of my own bay
Wow, my feet ache like crazy but I'm not mentally tired at all, in fact I feel mentally invigorated....but my feet kill. I was in charge today (with the sister keeping an eye on me). When a patient needed PRN analgesia or had a climbing par score it was me that was in charge of it. My time management skills were fine and I achieved everything I needed to in the time allocated and handed over to the night staff. I noticed my hand over was so much more informative now that I'm solely in charge. Doctors discussed patients with me and all info went through me so I wasn't having to play catch up. Now I just need to organize myself better in the afternoons so that I am on top of discharges and transfers, I have documented the current plan from the ward round and I am on top of the documentation. I am on again thursday, will try and do this then.
