NEW GRAD Needs Help

Published

What is the best way to learn how to Prioritize patient care? I get the whole ABCs and what they teach in school. Just looking for some real life experiences that textbooks and instructors don't really teach.

Specializes in orthopedic/trauma, Informatics, diabetes.

Practice and hope that you get a great preceptor that helps you. Best of Luck!! Welcome to nursing. I jumped straight into the fire-my first job was at an ortho rehab place that was also a LTC facility. I had anywhere from 15-20 pts to care for as a new grad. Learned time management fast. After 6 years, it is almost always a challenge

Is there specific situation on your mind? Prioritizing care is what nursing school is about, almost entirely. I'm not sure a whole program can be summarized in a few lines.
