Re: Need help with a nursing skills checklist
The list will be very long.....and I really think it should be things that apply to your facility, not anything that you guys would never come across.
Here are some examples of ours....
Reading manuals (P&P, disaster manual, infection control manual, etc)
take computer class
new employee orientation class
meet with scheduler to learn how our schedule works
meet with Pharmacy (pharmacist gives 20 minute overview of the system)
meet with Dental
Meet with mental health
Our staff has to have each item witnessed 3 times and signed off
glucometer
PPD
vital signs
wound care
patient teaching - crutch walking, etc
labs - listed individually and must be witnessed and signed off
how to use certain forms (the forms are listed, like for housing change, etc)
Our book is about 8 pages long (probably because all labs, forms and each task are listed separately)
We also have a scavenger hunt when they first start.
I hope this kinda helps
