I work 12 hour overnights. 5 more orientation shifts. Normal patient load is 5-6 but I’ve been getting 4-5 because of corona. I have ADD, but have coped well in life so far. I struggle with keeping my patients straight (I confuse who has which neuro deficits), keeping on time, and quickly conducting neuro assessments. I also have a hard time understanding the “why” for patients (meds, treatments). If I had more time I could read all provided notes and get a nice schedule set up for myself but I have very little time! My current strategies are using sticky notes (on EPIC) to remember to do everything, trying to write minimally on my brainsheet to not confuse myself, and referring to doctor notes more often for “why” stuff. Any other tips?
