Ok guys i'm in my last class for my BSN and i'm having trouble with my PICO question. idk why i can't get it right. I want to talk about communication between nurses and patients and how it improves quality patient care. the plan is to implement bedside reporting to solve this issue. This is what I have: PICO question? will bedside shift report improve quality patient care when compared to shift report at the nurses' station? P- (Patient, population, or problem): Poor communication between nurses and patients from shift to shift. I- (Intervention): Implement the use of bedside shift report. C- (Comparison with other treatment/current practice): Compared with report given at the nurse's station. O- (Desired outcome): Improved communication Someone help. My brain doesn't know what it wants to do. I think i'm making this more complicated than needed. I want to implement bedside reporting so that there is effective communication between nurses and patients. Involving the patient in their care improves communication between nurses as they are there to catch and correct misconceptions/miscommunication regarding their care. This can only happen if report is given at the bedside rather than at the nurses' station. How do i even measure "improved communication"? patient and nurse surveys? and how to i measure this "improvement"? I never had issues with PICO question and format in my last class. I just don't know why I can't get it right this time around. Someone help. -TIA

Alright, will do! S

Hey guys so i just went to the nursing office to get the invoice for the materials fee and the lady there said the invoices wont be ready until jan. Which makes no sense if it has to be paid by the 3rd or we get dropped. Anyway, if you guys were able to get the invoices before then would you guys let me know since i will be out of town. Thanks in advance!!!

I got mine too!!! hehe. :w00t:

Thanks for the quick reply! Goodluck to you also:)

Did anyone get an acceptance letter yet?

Did a

Sairybear and mrtonyj, what are your total points after teas?

on the first test date there was only 10 people testing.

don't feel bad... i scored worse than you!! i got 71.7!!! i m so nervous right now..!! the test was so hard:(

I took mine on tuesday and there was 10 of us. The test was so hard. What did u score?

Did anyone take the exam last friday?? how many people were testing? thanks

you would have to contact ATI testing and have them send your results to El Camino. I'm pretty sure you can do it online at the ATI webpage, just make an account if you don't already have one. I think it is around $20.

nope i have no idea. my sis in law said that there are 40 spots but during her acceptance they made room for 10 more.

I got invited to take the TEAS!!! YAY!!!!! :yeah:Good Luck guys!!!! I'm taking mine on the 15th:)

i think minimum is 40pts.

No problem!

okay good news! so i called the director's office today, and her assistant picked up. i asked if teas invites were sent out already and she was so shocked about my immediate call because they just received the applications today. she was laughing about it, and said to give it a couple weeks. maybe that lady in my class just wanted something to brag about. -shar.

well i emailed her this evening so she might not reply till tomorrow. i will let you know what she says. I'm hopeful, studying the TEAS right now Really only 80? i thought we would be competing with 100+. but that was the case with last semester also.

some girl from my Eng 1B class said she was invited, so its freaking me out right now. but i'm hoping that they will still continue with the invites next week. i will notify you if i get one, can you notify me also. thanks! Good luck! -shar.

Did you receive a TEAS invite yet?

has anyone heard anything yet?
