I work as a CNA in LTC. I'll be switching my floor to work on the subacute unit in my facility very soon.
I was wondering if any body had any tips or tricks to budget my time, keeping up with the changes and staying organized? Even a cheat sheet or something that I can use to write all of the info about the patients (since they change so frequently)
Also any information about the most common surgery patients I will see, complications, whether or not people with certain wounds/staples/injuries can shower, tips and tricks about positioning/bathing such patients (like I don't know much about hip precautions/knee precautions etc), what kind of devices/wedges I will see commonly.. etc..
Sorry, I know it's alot. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! :) :heartbeat
