Re: New to Staff Development
So far, the most challanging has been that my work is not finished at the end of the day. When I work as a staff nurse, for the most part, my work is done, meds are given, documentation is completed, labs have been reviewed etc.
In my Staff Dev position something is always uncompleted, an orientation schedule, a teaching project I am working on, remedial teaching on meds, etc.
I find I have meetings to attend now such as: shared goverance, Physician/Nurse Communication Committee, Train the Trainer sessions so I can teach the staff how to use new equipment, you get the picture.
So just realizing that not everything will be completed in one or 2 of my shifts has been challanging. Scheduling is a challange and learning how to use Excel for scheduling has also been a little difficult.
