I have a confession.

September 20, 2018 by Sarah Wells in education, ENA, east bay, expeditioned, New Thing Nurse, nursing, nursing school, nursing students, professional organization, student nurse, travel, conference, speaker

I have a secret that I want to share with you.

Promise not to judge me?

I am a full-blown Conference Nerd.

Still my friend?

I have, for years, spent a lot of time and money attending nursing conferences. I love them all, no matter the topic - emergency nursing, pediatric care, pre-hospital, nurse wellness, hospice, burns, trauma. I have been to a lot. I have seen many lectures. I loved every minute of it.

Now my conference passion is taking on a new form - I am getting to be a conference speaker!! This conference season, I am SO EXCITED to be presenting at some of my favorite conferences!!!

This month, I have already presented at San Francisco ENA's TraumaCon3 (see ridiculous photo above) and will be heading to PIttsburgh, PA next week to present at the Emergency Nurses Association national conference, ENA18!!

In October, I will be in Walnut Creek, CA at East Bay ENA's For Nurses, By Nurses Conference. And in November, I'll be heading to Orlando, FL to co-present with my collaborator & favorite human, Allison Shuttleworth, at the ENA Fall Regional Symposium.

I am geeking out over here.

At ENA18, I will not only will I getting to share the stage with some of my favorite nurse speakers, I will be getting to brag about all of the amazing work that my emergency department has done to enhance the pediatric care for our littlest patients and their families!

That's a straight win-win.

I love conferences because of the networking, the education and the feeling of camaraderie that you feel among the engaged nurses in attendance. At conferences I'm not a nerd, I'm just one of the gang.

What are your favorite conferences? I would love to learn about them and expand my conference roster for 2019. Drop me a line with your suggestions or invitations (just a hope...) - newthingnurse@newthingnurse.com

After several hours of staring at my 💻, my 👀 are starting to cross. My 🧠 feels a little fried. The focus is not there.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Fact: I don’t sleep well in other beds for the first week or so. I had trouble sleeping the last few nights, so I’m kind of running on empty. 👎🏽👎🏽
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
So I’m going to take some of my own #advice & pause to #rest. 😴 ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Report to the Unit or the floors from the ER can be a struggle. 😫
•
What we focus on in the ER is usually not what the upstairs nurses are interested in. •
We are like, “And then we found a bottle in their butt!” 😃😃
•
The floor nurses are more like, “But is their skin intact?” 😐😐
•
Call it tribal differences, but I have found giving a satisfactory report is helpful in making efficient transitions of patient care from the ED to the floor. Here is my system -
•
✅ Always start with a “Thank You” for taking report. The Unit & the floors are busy. It’s always nice to start with recognition of their time challenges.
•
✅ Give a nice intro to the patient that includes the patient’s name, age, allergies, admitting diagnosis, admitting MD & code status. •
✅ Go over their visit from triage to the present in a narrative format that doesn’t jump around in time too much. Tell them major events, medications given, diagnostics, & end with a nice set of last vitals along with how the patient is currently doing.
•
✅ Make sure to mention IV access, skin status, last BM or urination if you know, if the patient is ambulatory & if there is family around. •
Report is a personalized process that each person refines per their personal preferences & experiences. What I mean is, the above is just a recommendation. However I have found these bits to be of general importance to the upstairs nursing staff. See if it will work for you.👍🏽👍🏽

Have other advice? What has worked for you in the past?
