Yes! It will help you be certain you get everything done, on time, every time. And it will make your instructor confident in your performance. Here's how:
- With your instructor, decide what tasks you must accomplish on each shift.
- Capture this list in a NurseMind shift definition. Several templates are available that you can adapt for your own rotations.
- Use NurseMind on each shift, from start to finish.
- Start it running and set up your patients as you take report.
- From the list, select the next task -- your highest priority at the moment -- and do it.
- Check off each task once you've done it.
- Look at the list to make sure nothing is late and nothing is forgotten.
- Task icons turn yellow when they're due, red when they're late, and green when they're done.
- Use the Remind Me feature to add new tasks and protocols as they come up.
- Review the list to see what you accomplished on your shift.
- In the Advanced menu, you can choose Work Diary and email the list of what you did to yourself or to your instructor.
Your school, too, will love NurseMind.
