Clinical Help

[Starfish1]

I feel kinda lost, our clinicals dont seem to be structured the way others are. we aren't assigned a patient just a floor, is there any advice where to even begin? thanks

we have clinical from 7-1130 and i about starve everyday lol but our clinicals are pretty structured we have a list of things we are req to do daily especially if we are doin a care plan.....we get our assignments "pts" on monday afternoon stay up all night writing a daily plan then the next day preconference 7-730 i go in introduce myself tell the pt what we are goin to be doin that day....go gather my supples to take vitals (bp cuff, pulse ox., them.) take vs., gather supplies for bed bath and linen change...do those things all while communicating with pt and assessing skin and other things....i chart look at dr orders and try to make the most out of my time and have a good day!
