ohh do you have perfect nurses where you work?
lol
you can get into a groove and continue to improve your management of time but that all depends on what happens to your patients.
i was doing great last night until one of mine went into repiratory arrest.
goodbye time managament!
god we al wish for those days and nights when our patients aren't sick!!!!! NOW IF THIS ISN'T A OXYMORON, WE WORK IN HEALTH CARE, AND WE GET BENT OUT OF SHAPE IF OUR patients are actua;lly sick and in need of hospital care!!!!!!! IMAGINE THAT!!!!!
Don't know where I am heading with this, but knows it warrants a little response!!!!! if only from micro!!!!!

I recently attended a time management seminar and they told us we should work to our biorhythm. I guess that means I shoud tell my boss I need to work shifts only between 1000-1400 and 1700-2000. LOLOLOL

thanks for the replies and the chuckles!!!!! the biorhythm seminar, that's great
dear nurse manager, my rhythm will only allow me to work from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. but I must be paid for eight hours and will need to have the easiest patient caseload as I have to be organized and time managed!!!!!
just old micro:p :p
