Summary

I get so many readers of the blog asking about nursing shift routines. How do you start your day? How do you stay organized? The key to getting and staying organized is having some consistent routines such as the ones outlined in this podcast:

* Start of shift routine
* First assessment routine
* "Spot-check" routine
* End of shift routine

Armed with a few nursing shift routines, you will immediately reap the benefits of having a more organized approach to time management and your ever-changing priorities as an RN or student nurse.

Do you have a tried-and-true routine that keeps you organized? Share it in our Facebook group Thriving Nursing Students!

Take auditory learning even further with Study Sesh, my private podcast that uses PodQuizzes, Drills, Case Studies and more to truly change the way you study. Learn more here.

0:00.0	Hey there guys, welcome back to the Straight A Nursing
0:15.3	Podcast I hope you've been having an awesome week. I certainly have. I am
0:21.5	right now orienting a new nurse to our unit so I'm having a really good
0:26.3	time doing that and let's see had some interesting patients lately, lots of respiratory failures.
0:35.0	Seems like even though we mostly get our respiratory failures in the winter,
0:40.3	like the flu's and pneumonia's had some pretty interesting respiratory failure cases the last little bit and some of it is allergy asthma induced.
0:53.0	So thinking, maybe we should do a podcast or a post
0:57.8	about status asthmaticus because it's not just as simple
1:01.1	as giving a men-obedoal treatment and sending them back home.
1:05.4	So look for that to come up soon, but today what we are talking about is something that
1:10.0	you can start putting into practice right away in your clinical rotations or maybe
1:16.2	you're a new grad or maybe you're a nurse moving to a different floor and you really want to
1:21.0	be organized.
1:22.0	So what we'll be talking about today are routines.
1:27.4	And I am here to say that having a routine,
1:31.5	actually a multitude of them, will go a long way toward making you
1:36.6	feel organized, efficient, and like your brain is in order.
1:42.3	I have to tell you guys I have this reputation at work for being the
1:46.0	super organized nurse. Seriously, I just write everything down because if I don't write something down I'm gonna forget it and I also have strict
1:56.2	routines that I adhere to.
