Does anyone have any cool tips on how to get ready for a procedure in a pt's room? For example, say you're looking at the kardex and Mr. Jones needs a dressing change at 4:00. If you're not quite sure of all the supplies you need to bring in, what do you refer to? Do you have a nursing procedures pocket guide? A set of index cards that you personally wrote up and keep in your pocket? Just wondering if there are any great ways to get through these things smoooooothly without having to look like a dummy at the bedside with your instructor glaring at you over her bifocals if you forgot something!!
