What's the task you like doing most on the job?

I love that I get to help make my patients and family comfortable in my patients final moments of life to make a pain free and relaxed transition to the next phase. I also love getting to know the family and hear all the wonderful stories they tell about their loved one. I am so blessed and lucky to be welcomed into one of the most intimate times in a families life. I wouldn't change a thing about what I do. :redbeathe

Tasks? Starting lines. Love the flash. Converting and then controlling rapid afibs is fun too. Fixing kids gives a lot of satisfaction as well.

Love: Giving pain meds that work.

Hate: Being asked for pain meds at 0300, and there are none on the MAR.

Favorite thing would be doing chart checks and finding and fixing errors

Haha. I thought I was the only one who enjoyed this. Also, looking back further into the chart (orders) and understanding the story of the patient. You learn a lot by just skimming 2-3 days of previous orders.

My favorite part is seeing an acutely ill patient become medication complaint and then be able to participate in groups and be able to function. I love the feeling when they tell me "It was because you helped me."

I really like coming into a chaotic mess with the code cart nearby and just the lines everywhere and all this stuff that needs to be done, I go in, and organize and make my list of things to do. Give all the blood that I need to ( I love giving blood!) It makes me feel really good when I've done everything on the list, and the patient looks just much better than when I came in and the environment is calm. I like feeling as a reverse tornado.

I don't like when my night is calm and goes crazy though. Both happen frequently to me. :)

That last strip of tape on a complex sterile dressing.

Task....suctioning. I love the instant gratification of a BBG full of snot. My favorite is getting a big old mucous plug out of a nare and the kiddo looks so relieved. Just the sound. I also love having a clean patient, clean linens, clean bedside. If they feel good they usually rest better.

I love making a scared kiddo feel better about everything going on around them. It makes me feel good when my patients are excited to see me. I love peds.

I LOVE having my delivery done; pp checks complete; mom voided; bed remade; baby breastfeeding well; visitors gone; lights down.....such a sense of accomplishment in a hectic last few hours....(and then I remember the five hours of strip checks that I still have to do!)
