another qiustion on ward management how to organise care 4 10 patients on a medical ward early with a 1st year st/n and a experience hca

so initially i went all for the obvious washes meds etc

however i then said i get any referels etc needed so that the patients would get the MDT input etc and the other professional would plan to include that patient on the list. however i was the n asked how i would promote the learning needs of the st/n so i was slighly honest and said instead of treating them like a pair of hands that depending on the st/n ability thye could contact the mdt etc and then follow through and observe any assesment.

how to implement change i gave an account from pre training and what i've learnt which was my former manager tried to creat a more holostic environment and he didn't get enough ground support and cahnge agents so that what i would do in future.

what would i do if i saqy 2 hca moving a patient on a sheet (this was hard cause i know its wrong but i'm not innocent of this act.

i said as a nq nurse i would take them aside remind them that it bad for the patient and themselve which they know from manadorty training. and that i tell a seniro colleage incase this had been noted before and then if i say any repetion i'd esclate up.

Excellent answer Ayla, so you did MONA, wouldn't worry about the prompt too much you got the important stuff which is O2, asprin and Morphine, get help obs and ECG for diagnostics. Well done, I have had interviewed for a nurse practitioner who couldn't tell me what MONA was

Oh that's a tricky one, but it sounds like you have covered everything, including utilising the student and using it as a learning expereince rather than just as a pair of hands, I like that. You have shown prioritising care and use of your help in your answer.

Nasty question though, I wouldn't like to answer that one.

how to implement change i gave an account from pre training and what i've learnt which was my former manager tried to creat a more holostic environment and he didn't get enough ground support and cahnge agents so that what i would do in future.

Brilliant that you could give an example of what you have done as a student with change management, shows that you are keen and can use initiative

what would i do if i saqy 2 hca moving a patient on a sheet (this was hard cause i know its wrong but i'm not innocent of this act.

Again another good answer, dealing with the problem, with a knowledge of trust policy and manual handling. Dealing with it immediately then onto a senior nurse if it happens again. Brilliant I would imagine this is what they wanted, for you to deal with the issue and have knowledge of the policies but be able to use the chain of command if it fails.

i find out tuesday my mobile in getting fixed so they will phone my home number or my current ward.

It sounds like you did OK Ayla, I will keep my fingers crossed for you. If it is anything like where I work there is loads of competition but we try to employ our own students first.

Now go and relax, have a glass of wine, put your feet up and chill out.

[Silverdragon102, BSN]

Looking good Ayla, keeping fingers crossed for you :)

[XB9S, BSN, MSN, EdD, RN, APN]

Congratulations Ayla, I had every faith in you. Well done :yeah: :yeah:

Hi. Most important thing is to be yourself. There are many issues that you can cover. which have alreadyed been written on, but being keen and enthusiatic is what needs to come across. High on my agenda would be to see a nurse who is interested in maintaining and improving standards.

As far as your other issues. Talk to the Univ, who will put your on to a educational specialist who will assess you and provide you with advice and support. Also remember that you have a duty to yourself, so get the best help you can and then there will be no come back.

Good luck

[Silverdragon102, BSN]

Congrat Ayla.... before you know it you will be working as a qualified nurse

[jacqui]

well done, congratulations, and hey you did it all yourself..............

[LiverpoolJane]

Hi,

I've got two interviews coming up. I'm not nervous any more, I've been on sooo many! I think I'm falling down on the basic nursing care. So, I'm going to take your tips Ayla2004 and I'll tell you what happens.
