I need some input here. If I have 14 patients maybe a couple of them needy, (wanting cofee or juice)and I do vitals on all, blood sugars on 7 of them, and I start at 5a and am done at 6:45a, is that too much time? If so, what am I doing wrong? I could swear I'm moving like Speedy Gonzales.

Well, according to my calculations, if 7 of your pt's are bg and vs and take about 10min per pt, and the other 7 are just vs and take 5 min each, that ='s 105 min ( 1hr 45 ") which doesn't even factor in lots of other stuff I'm sure you get sucked into during the round- so in my opinion you are doing an awesome job!! Speedy Gonzales indeed!
