It's only your 3rd day. Create a cheat sheet. I would make up a sheet of all the residents on my hall, (I had 2 different ones because I never knew which one I'd be on from day to day), red marks for BPs, green for finger sticks, A for apple sauce, C for crush, BM for if they had a BM that day, and any other notes you need, I would get to work about 15 mins early to see if I needed to familiarize myself with any med changes or new orders. Didn't need to worry about dressings, we had a separate wound nurse, Build a good rapport with your CNAs. They will save you a lot of headaches in the long run. Don't sweat it, you'll be fine, all of us who worked in a SNF have gone through it and we survived.

I'm a new LVN working on the floor of a convalescent hospital. I'm looking for any advice on time management? It's only been 3 days but I feel like passing meds feels like an eternity! I'm also looking for any general advice for a new nurse! Thanks! 😊
