One thing I wish I did was create a clinical diary. ⁠ ⁠ I often didn’t have time (or energy) to do a deep dive into all the nuanced medications that I was using during my shift. I would look up on Up To Date what I needed to know, or ask a colleague. ⁠ ⁠ When I got home, the last thing I wanted to do was “study” - I was exhausted. ⁠ ⁠ But when it came time to prep for my interviews, I found myself wishing I had a list of the drugs/pathophysiologies I encountered. ⁠ ⁠ Start making a list early of the drugs you use on your unit, and the pathophysiologies you encounter. Set aside some time on the weekend to look them up. ⁠ ⁠ Know: ⁠ 👉 Indications/Contraindications⁠ 👉 Side Effects⁠ 👉 MOA⁠ 👉 Dose ⁠ ⁠ It’ll serve you well, I promise. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #rrna #gaspasser #headofthebed #icu #icunurses #criticalcarenurse #intubation #operatingroom ⁠ #simulation #simulationlab #simlab ⁠ #gradschool #gradstudent #studymotivation⁠ #newgradnurse #newgradrn #srna #crna #dnpcrna #crnaschool #rn #rntosrna #...
