Please list your secrets/ tips for better organization on the clinical floor. What are your proven methods for making the clinical day run smoother? Thanks in advance :)
Make your expectations clear and be organized. The best clinical instructor I have had so far gave us a list of things we should always be doing (from check armband and emergency equip, assessment specifics, look at chart and meds, etc) and a list of things to try to do once those things were done. I learned far more then my other instructors who just released me onto the floor assuming I knew what I was doing. I learned how to prioritize and time management and felt like I was responsible if I didn't get something right because someone actually told me what my job was. The RNs on the floor were all really impressed with us as well and it was one of the first time I felt welcome by the staff on a floor.
I am in the same boat as you, very new to this forum. Vicky has told me she gave you my private email address. It seems to be a lot easier to attach things. Please let me know if you are having any problems and I will try my best to assist you.
Thanks to VickyRN (Staff) for getting us connected. The student packet I promised will be forwarded to you today. I just have to make some adjustments because I have my last semester's students information (e.g., phone nos., email addresses) on some of the papers attached.
Ok- ladies... I am very new and trying to figure things out. I would love to have a copy of your packet as I am starting my second year teaching ADN clinical students. Ace1RNelp- can you help me out? Thanks so much.
Hi Ladies, I am new to allnurses so hopefully I get this right! I was reviewing your blogs and I was excited to discover student packets you devised. Is there anyway that I can also have a copy of them. I will be teaching my first group next week and to have set guidelines will be very beneficial. If it is possible, I thank you in advance!
Thank you so much VickyRN!!!! I haven't even gotten through all of the information that you have posted, and I am already re-energized and excited to be the best nursing instructor that I can possibly be. I came to the website in desperation because I knew I wasn't doing my best job. I never would have imagined how rich with information it would be. Thanks again to you and everyone who contributed!!! :redpinkhe

Congratulations on this wonderful opportunity, Mel :) What type of information are you requesting? Some of the other posters were offering some packets of materials.
In order to send out a PM (private message), you first need to have 15 posts on the boards.
