I was looking for one of these. As a traveler I’ve found rounds to be different everywhere. And everywhere thinks their way is the only way it’s done. I’ve had rounds where not one person introduced themselves or their title and their badges weren’t visible. Their tool was all over the map and I’m used to an organized tool. It was awful. One thing I would add is if they are on VTE and PPI or not. Also if they are at goal rate for tube feed or not. I absolutely love love your videos! ❤
@@KendraRN nursing needs to be less bullying and more about bringing the whole team up to high level team nursing. Nursing needs to be more about helping each other learn and thrive for the best outcomes for patients. Again, I love love your videos! To me, if a new nurse is struggling that’s a huge reflection on their preceptor and educational and morale environment at the facility.
Thank you so much for this!!! Fellow black ICU nurse. Absolutely love!!!!! Seeing another black ICU nurse so knowledgeable and helping others with this info.
As an old ICU/ ER nurse, I give you big props. Excellent presentation and doing it without consulting a paper. I miss my old job but I don't miss some of the conditions we had to work under. What you are doing is sorely needed, especially for our new nurses who may not have a knowledgeable preceptor. I do worry for them because managers are not very good with paring nurses with the right patient acuity, and it can spell trouble for both. Hopefully, with nurses such as yourself, there can be significant improvement in the management of our patients and the overall outcome at the end of the day. Continue to do what you are doing and I do love your honesty. It is refreshing!
I wish I had you as a clinical nurse instructor and as a nurse coworker. If more new nurses watch and learn from you, we would be so much better off!! I'd feel alot safer and reassured that quality nursing care is back! God Bless you Kendra!!
I don't understand how this chanel is hitting high number as she given valuable information on this chanel. I don't usually comment on but I am surprised how people can get this information for free and not supporting chanel.
My daughter's name is Kendra and trust me, you have no idea what an inspiration you are to black nurses.Thank you so much for always sharing those hurtful experiences that new nurses especially blacks go through everyday and also for confidently sharing such knowledge , U are unknowing building a tribe of knowledgeable black nurses who will stand up and advocate for themselves and others around them 😍 !
I absolutely love this. 14 yr RN here, but I’ve only done ICU for a year, and these are things I had to figure out for myself. You can’t sound meek and quiet. When you don’t know something, own it and let the team know you didn’t have a chance to look it up. Don’t act like you know when you don’t. Confidence and knowing what you know and knowing what you don’t.
I'm in my last week of Med-Surg 1 but had to call the rapid response team and send a pt to ICU a few weeks ago. I was able to accompany my patient for her CT scan than ICU transfer. I ended up doing 3 rounds of CPR on her (ER doc gave me props on my chest compression skills) because she coded. It was very exhilarating to say the least. I definitely think I belong in ICU. Thank you for providing this information on rounds as to what's important and how to present. I'm a great speaker however the medical field is a different ballfield.
Thank you so much. I just started working in ICU unit. All of these information's are really over whelming. My preceptor is not making it easier either. My preceptor told me at 6days working in ICU, that I am suppose to know almost everything. I thought of quitting but, I am not a quitter. Just listening to you, I have regained my confidence again. Thank you very much.
Don’t quit, she’s out of line for saying that. Stand strong, ask questions and study when you are off. If you and that preceptor aren’t meshing well, advocate for yourself and see if you can switch.
The day I had to work a 12 hr shift on Christmas Day, meaning I had to leave @05:45 am return 09:00 pm, my 9 year old daughter was in tears and said “ this is not a good Christmas” , I decided to give my 2 weeks notice. This was especially unfair, since I had this Christmas Day off, but was mandated in because of a call in. You are absolutely right, nursing has become a regular grueling profession, with no control over your life, very little appreciation, and many burned out colleagues. I have been a nurse for 34 years, also an MSN, and I applaud you for taking control over your time.❤
My rounds I get as A cna from noc: the patient did/didn't have a BM. Literally, that is all and I absolutely HATE IT! that gives me ZERO info on a pts status, esp if they had a change in status the prior day or are a new admit. Even though I'm a cna, I make sure I'm as thorough as possible as an AM CNA because one day I will become a nurse, and I'll have to give/receive info that is more crucial than if they had a BM overnight. Thank you for this!
I am new nurse and you have no idea how this helps me so much thank you so much may God bless you for this. As one year experienced nurse and being bullied based to my color affected me in so many ways, but thank God for some people like you who helped me and supported me as i was moving forward. Now I am standing than ever before. Thanks again🙏.
Love ❤ your channel and all of the excellent information! I work as a private in-home palliative/hospice/end-of-life caregiver and your information re presenting/charting is invaluable. Whilst there are many differences in the patient care plans, accurate charting allows for increased communication for those w cognitive decline and/or dual diagnoses re behavior🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
You are a blessing and an example to the medical field! God has a special purpose and calling on your life. You are so informative and after watching your content I always leave in a better place! God bless you!!!
Thank you so much I present rounds for the first time tomorrow and I’m on week 6 of orientation and I’m 1 out of the 2 black people in all the Critical Care units thank you this definitely made feel prepared to show up and stand out
I am BIG on professionalism as well ❤.. It is a huge priority in my work world and I expect it not only from myself but others as well. I also am happy that you mentioned that it's OK to not know everything HOWEVER we must offer to check and get back to the rounding team/doctor(s) I don't like a nurse to say that they don't know and doesn't show any plan to find out, etc They were A TON of points (possibly all of them ) that I appreciated throughout the video. However, those were my top 2
OMG kendra I am too old for ICU DRAMA I have two teenagers to hundle so I guess for me medsurge is fine for now and private duty which pays tremandously well. The clients are coming from the hospital and need nursing for a few weeks so I enjoy that cuz its less stressful. Had I know though at a young age I would definately follow that path of ICU.@@KendraRN
This video is amazing !!! New grad PICU day shift nurse and I am off orientation next week & rounds is the worst for me literally gives me anxiety ! Rounds for me is a minimum of 5 individuals for me (intensivist, pharmacy, RT, charge nurse, specialties following the patient & resident /med student / attending / who usually present the patient. Can you also talk about things you should ask when getting report - sometimes things are left out because the nurse forgot or it didn’t seem crucial to bring up and
I love your vids! Yes! Proper words!!!! I have spent my 10 year nursing career trying to educate families and pts, and therefore using basic everyday language. But, since working in ICU, I definitely have tried to use medical -speak. You are spot on!
Thank you so much for this! So grateful I found your channel, you've incredibly taught me a lot!😊🙏🏼♥️ I'm an ICU nurse here in the Philippines, and I'm a bit anxious to start-off in the ICU once I'm in the US because of the difference in the healthcare setting and your video gave me an idea of what it is like. Preparation is key I think to lessen this anxiety 😊♥️ Looking forward for more of your content😊♥️
Great content!! Can you do a video getting and receiving report in Med Surg? Like that's the main parts without giving a whole drawn out movie. Alot of times some nurses don't wanna hear certain things and will cut you off or say in their head "hurry up". They even say I got it, you don't have to go through all of that. Then some people wanna know every single thing. That's the frustrating part. Do you have a good report or brain sheet? This topic isn't really discussed enough and it's needed. Thanks Kendra!
You are resilient, amazing and very informative!!! Kind of got thrown into the icu. Not sure I’m really ready for it as I’m a novice nurse. Am definitely nervous, but also excited to go on this new journey at the same time. ICU is a different beast in nursing. 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾Thank you so much, sending you much love and prayers!!!! Please keep the videos coming 😇😇😇
