There are so many fabulous nurses around here and I'm sure that there is probably equally awesome advice that has never been shared... So, what is your tip? It can be ANYTHING related to your job... bringing meals, cluster care tips and tricks, laundering scrubs, etc.... I'll go first...
1) Cleaning my scope. Instead of using alcohol wipes between each patient, I just squirt extra hand gel into my palms, then reach up and rub around my bell and ear pieces. Then I proceed to wipe my hands until dry.
2) When I'm working 2 - 3 shifts in a row, I bring a gallon of ice tea to put in the fridge to refill my cup - get tired of water and plain decaf tea is healthier than sodas. I do the same for food, bring a meal, divided into threes, the first night of my series. That way if I sleep late or am running behind, I know I always have a meal already at work waiting on me!
