First dayshift as a nurse of 2022 | Nurse Debriefing EP17

Cup Of Nurses

08/16/22 • 23 min

As nurses, our lives will always be busy, but that doesn't mean we can't update you guys on what's happening with us. Speaking of updates, Peter is still a nurse in California, and I finally picked up a shift here in Illinois through an agency. It feels a little weird to get back on the job, not going to lie. But it's all good, and I am stoked to be back on board!

For my first shift, I was assigned to the ICU. After two months of not working, the patient was in V-tach when I received the report. I also noticed that this hospital I'm currently assigned to doesn't have a supply room. Instead, they had open spaces down the center of the unit where you could grab your supplies. On top of that, charting was slightly different here as they use Cerner for documentation.

Another thing I noticed during my shift was the communication. It was frustrating to go back and forth on the procedures that needed to be done for my patient. My patient was very sick. He came in with sepsis. had a CVA and was rule out for endocarditis. We can't do a TEE either, but after a while, he converted and went back to V-tach, so we needed to troubleshoot him. I talked to a cardiologist who ordered to cardiovert the patient and start lidocaine. But when I told Intensivist what the order was, he told me he doesn't do cardioversion and walked away.

As nurses, we are always the "middle man" for everything, but if you are unsure what to do, it always helps to address the situation and see what is best for the patient. Watch the full debriefing video in this episode to learn more about what happened next!

Cup Of Nurses

06/18/21 • 21 min

In this episode, we are going to discuss the things you have to do once you’ve passed your NCLEX.

In nursing, the work seems to never stop. So, you’ve passed your NCLEX and you are crossing over from student to practitioner. Your next step should be applying to jobs, but on a unit, you want to work on.

As travel nurses, we have a lot of tips and recommendations for you based on what we learned throughout our careers. These are also the things we wish we knew back then so we never made the mistakes that we did.

Enjoy the episode and good luck with your new journey!

Cup Of Nurses

12/20/22 • 23 min

We are happy to announce that our Christmas merch is now available in our shop, so get you some Cup of Nurses tees, jackets, and sweaters for this holiday season. Or if you're looking for the best gifts for your nurse friends or family, these are perfect.! Check out our shop here https://cupofnurses.shop/ 🥳

In today's episode, Matt shares his experience as a nurse turned patient after injuring himself in a Ju Jitsu tournament. 😬 He got body-slammed into the mat and heard a clicking sound on the right side of his ribs. He knew immediately that something was wrong, so he went to the ER, thinking he had a fractured rib. They took an X-ray, which took a while. So, this doctor walked in after his X-ray and did not even touch Matt or assess the part where he felt the pain (shocking, we know!). He barely assessed Matt and didn't diagnose him until Matt did his research and diagnosed himself with a slipped rib.

Find out more about Matt's case, our patient with necrotizing fasciitis, and more exciting stories by watching this full episode! 😎
