  1. SBAR for Psych

    Hey guys, a co-worker and I came from intensive care setting where attention was paid to detail. Shift report is so very subjective at our behavioral health facility. Does anyone have an SBAR or similar guideline for giving report so the right info g...
  2. Psych Nurse Report Sheet

    Hi, I realise this is an old post, but would you mind sharing it with me? I hope you still have it. Thank you [email protected]
  3. I did it after 36 years working NICU! Best decision ever! I feel like a nurse again. Management in my old unit went to crap and all they worried about was ‘don't make the parents mad, that will affect the HCAPS score'

    you know what?? This drives me crazy as well......I don't need a lecture, I was just wondering what other units do
  11. Measuring urine output

    Yeah, I thought it was a standard as well. We do count the wet diapers. Even with the micropremies tho, it is just a check-mark......drives me crazy
  12. Measuring urine output
