OK, I'm probably dense, but...
what do you do with 2 different colored pens and a highlighter?? Like, specifically...cross off stuff when you're done, or...
Also:
Is there a thread on here about what people's "organizational sheets" look like. I have one, but I'd love to see someone else's.
My pockets...
Hmm, a little less predictable. On a good day, 1 or 2 alcohol prep pads, bandage scissors, tape, my iPhone with drug guide, lab guide, diseases/diagnoses handbook, IV compatibility book, etc. all on it (!), my cool LED pen light that looks like a tire gauge, 1 black pen, a tiny sheet of scrap paper, and a couple 3mL flushes. Sometimes those blue cap things for the IV tubing. Stethoscope there, or around neck. Usually around neck.
I also carry a black clipboard with a cover on the front for privacy, but I try not to take that in and out of pt. rooms very often for infection control purposes. That clipboard has a pad of paper, the report sheet, a blank assessment sheet from before we went computerized, a sheet with my 'to do' list for that shift, a laminated quick reference to lab values I made, some referral/info cards for domestic violence shelters and escape plans, and a one-page quick-reference sheet for psych behavior terminology definitions.
