As a nurse, you complete various skills every day. If you are a seasoned nurse, these skills have become so routine you may not put extra thought into them. Do you ever wonder why we follow certain practices that do not seem supported by evidence while not implementing practices substantiated by much evidence? For example, at one time, nurses changed hospitalized patients' intravenous (IV) dressings daily, even though no solid evidence supported this practice. Let's discuss the importance of evidence-based practices and how nurses can maintain a curious mindset about their practices to achieve the highest level of patient care possible. https://hubs.la/Q02pFvmz0 #evidencebasedpractice #nurseresearch #nursingpractice #nursingblog #ncc

🔵⚪Member Monday🔵⚪ 🩺Tahnee Andrew, PhD, MSN, RN, NPD-BC🩺 What made you choose nursing as a career? "I chose nursing as a career as I was completing high school. At that time, I knew that I wanted to "help people," but I honestly did not fully understand all that nursing encompasses. I was blessed to find a career that I have loved throughout many years and multiple roles and specialties. Nursing has so much to offer and so many different types of roles and employment. There is truly something for every nurse no matter the person's interests or personality." What specialty of nursing do you practice?: "My current role is nursing administration in academic nursing as a faculty member and associate director for two nursing programs. I am also a Nursing Continuing Professional Development Accredited Provider Program Director. I serve ANA-Ohio as a member of the Continuing Education Committee. In previous roles, I have enjoyed NICU, L&D, Urgent Care, Ambulatory Float, and organizational eduction."

This #NationalNursesWeek, here’s just one example of how nurses go above and beyond to keep patients safe. After a hospital received several event reports of wrong and expired intravenous (IV) fluids caught before reaching patients, the medication safety officer investigated how these products were supplied. This institution purchases all their plain IV fluids from one manufacturer, so the products appear very similar. The fluids were stocked in clean utilities rooms throughout the patient care units in blue storage bins with white labels describing the contents by product number. Although nursing uses barcode medication administration (BCMA) technology prior to administering drugs to patients, the hospital lacked any technology to help ensure storeroom staff placed the correct product in its bin. This information was shared with the patient safety director and the reporting nurse, who appreciated a significant look-alike risk. Their group developed a plan to provide visual differentiation of each product, evaluate fluids and quantities stocked, and reorganize the fluids according to prevalence of use. Since they could not change the appearance of the products in stock, the group worked to color code storage according to the type of solution. Their original plan was to purchase different color bins; however, the cost was prohibitive, so instead they purchased different color labels which clearly state the type of fluid and bag size. These labels were used on storage bins throughout the patient care units and storeroom. A small supply of different color bins was purchased for the storeroom staff to use when transporting the fluids to the floor to prevent intermingling. To better understand the supply maintained on each unit, the medication safety officer met with nurse managers to review items stocked compared to actual use. Each unit reevaluated its supply to ensure more appropriate quantities of regularly used items were available. This reduced the number of different fluid products from 22 to 15. Of the 15 products kept, nine had periodic automatic replacement (PAR) levels adjusted to match average use. This helped reduce risk of products expiring and waste. When the new labels were implemented, the group reorganized the fluids to store them more ergonomically for staff. Prior to this, irrigation solutions and combination fluid products were stored at eye level and high use items, like sodium chloride 0.9% or lactated Ringer’s 1-liter bags, were stored on the bottom shelf. Staff routinely needed to bend down to take or restock these products. Solutions also were organized by product number, which separated different bag sizes of the same fluids. In the new system, the same fluids are grouped together and more routinely used items are placed higher on shelves.​ Read more stories of nursing changemakers: https://lnkd.in/eBfzp2Tp
