How to keep track of Dr orders?

Nurses General Nursing

Updated:   Published

I am sick and tired of being reminded that I missed such and such order. I forgot to do labs etc. I am less than a yera old RN and try hard to note and act on all orders but sometimes due to getting busy with other patients, I don't know when Dr comes and writes on the chart. I am upset, depressed and frustrated that will I be able to do everything right?

We are piloting something where I work where nurses will be responsible for looking at all orders together so nothing is overlooked and anything that is necessary can be clarified at that time. We have had ongoing problems with this issue.

thanks anonymurse and Louis, I think I can do it too. Well, next time I will write on my organization sheet " check chart" at certain time intervals. May be, this can help :)
