@CoffeeInfusedRN @asthehosptuRNs That makes a lot of sense. The medication library within our Alaris’ aren’t nearly up to date with all the various meds and concentrations. Sounds magical 😆
@reepRN The only thing is it might be deemed private health information if someone overhears a medication and sees you pulling the med and going into a patient room (if the Pyxis/Omnicell isn’t in a private med room)
@RNMeetsWorld Right, if it’s staggered, then it makes sense to me. But if both depts end at the same time, and I’m already in the middle of report with one nurse, it’s not efficient to stop in the middle of report. In that situation, seems like one dept will be late regardless.
@RNMeetsWorld (2/2) Aside from pre-divert, divert statuses when we know our goal is to get pts out of ED ASAP, is there a reason why ED RN’s should badge out sooner vs our own staff?
@RNMeetsWorld I don’t mean to be rude at all but I’m genuinely curious. Don’t your shifts end at the same time (meaning off going ED RN’s and offgoing unit/floor RN’s)? (1/2)
@ccardyDNP @embasic Do they have different patient ratios between the two units? Amio or dilt requires q 15m VS upon initiation and during titration, so if the ratios are heavier on the med tele floor, their pressure might tank with a heavier assignment despite having tele.
@EM_RESUS Proactive rounding before leaving the hospital while still taking call (our intensivist is not required to stay at the hospital at all times). It takes a few minutes and prevents at times trivial phone calls at the insistence of the patient (bowel and sleeping meds, parameters).
@EM_RESUS Would an idioventricular rhythm or an accelerated idioventricular rhythm look different than this? Or is the extremely wide QRS the dead give away?
