How to Stand Up for Yourself as a Nurse | Nurse Debriefing EP23
Manage episode 347722920 series 2923913
Travel nurses fill in the gaps and jobs that exist in hospitals. Just as staff nurses go through difficult assignments so do travelers. Sometimes you get the assignment with a transfer and 2 admissions. How do you prioritize your time to handle everything? And who wrote up this assignment in the first place? Sometimes you just have to roll with it and figure it out.
How do you handle difficult assignments? What’s your flow?
In this debriefing episode, we will share with you our experience dealing with different patient assignments, how we prioritize, and how we feel.
