  1. RN Health Coaching

    It may be a little late in replying to this thread but I am a coach and a nurse. I have been nursing for the past 15 years and have a Masters in Nursing Education, Profession certificate in Health Systems Management and also a Quality Improvement Adv...
  2. I'm curious do you experience this too?

    Thanks for sharing & it seems you're not alone. There has to be a better way than this. I know I didn't sign up to nursing just to run around for stuff.
  3. I'm curious do you experience this too?

    You know I worked it out - did the math - if 12 nurses spent 10 minutes just looking for stuff that would = 1200 minutes (in one day on one ward). Then for a hospital of 20 wards and that's 24,000 minutes or 400 hours! I don't know how long your shi...
  4. I'm curious do you experience this too?

    That's not great at all!

  6. I'm curious do you experience this too?

    That also happens a lot too. What's the point of writing that something is broken if you aren't going to do something about it. Grrrr....

    My gosh that must have felt like hours of time spent just looking for stuff how frustrating!
  9. I'm curious do you experience this too?

    It makes a big difference by the sounds of it.
  10. I'm curious do you experience this too?

    You're brave to be a float nurse as that would be difficult having every ward set up differently.
  11. I'm curious do you experience this too?

    Yep know that one too. IV pumps not cleaned and then have blood on them from a blood transfusion was really horrible to find. Not only had to hunt for an IV pump but also had to clean blood off it and who knows how old the blood was.
  12. I'm curious do you experience this too?

    Wow that's crazy and frustrating. Why should you have to find a key! Incredible what nurses work find they have to work with.
  13. I'm curious do you experience this too?

    Just like I thought. That's encouraging that I'm not alone but also sad that it happens all too often.
  14. The more nurses I speak to about this the more I hear about how long it takes to find stuff. Stuff like equipment, items from the store/stock room, finding information, keys, codes and the list goes on. On one shift it took 35 minutes to find the bla...
