š¬ Handling Tough Questions from Family Members š¬
As nurses, we often get hit with hard questions like these. It can be frustrating when there isn’t a satisfactory answer. Frustrating for both parties involved.
These moments can feel overwhelming, but remember: families ask because they care. Here are some tips for navigating these conversations:
ā
Stay calm – Even if you don’t have all the answers, your calm presence matters.
ā
Be honest – It’s okay to say, “I don’t know yet, but I’ll find out.”
ā
Offer reassurance – Let them know what steps you’re taking to help their loved one.
Your compassion and professionalism will make a big difference in the tone of the conversation and may help calm an upset family member.
REMEMBER: You won’t always have an answer they like and some people will stay mad. That’s just the reality unfortunately.

š©ŗ Staying Organized During Your Shift š©ŗ
Let’s be real—staying organized isn’t easy, especially when things get hectic! But here are a few tips to help you stay on track:
ā° Use timers and reminders – Set alarms on your phone to remind you of tasks. For example, if you need to recheck something in 15 minutes, set a timer to stay on top of it.
š Prioritize your tasks – This takes time to master, so be patient with yourself. Start by focusing on the most important tasks first, and slowly you’ll get better at managing the rest.

Taking care of others is what we do, but we can’t forget to refill our own cups. We can’t pour from an empty one. That’s a quick way to get burnt out. Getting burnt out will impact the quality of our patient care and affect our mental health. We will stop caring.

Who do you want to be when you grow up?
Top tips for administering medication’s through a peg or G – tube. This is the proper way to administer the medication‘s and the way you will need to do it when you are being audited by a state surveyor.
š Crush the medication is finally as you can, and dissolve with warm water.
š flush with about 30 cc of water in between each medication.
š certain medications cannot be crushed, make sure you are aware.
š look for opportunities to ask the doctor to change certain medications to a liquid form.
š always check for placement prior to administering meds also. Check with your facility for their protocol in doing this.
š if it’s clogged, don’t force push the liquid. Trust me…it will backfire- literally and you will get a bit of a shower š¤¢ š been there done that.
What are your peg tube tips?
In case you didn’t hear…
I just love this quote. Always look for the positive and focus on that. There is too much negative out there and focusing on it will bring you down. Even if you're having a terrible day at work, remember that it will end and will just become a memory.
What opportunity have you been waiting for? It may not come, so seek it out or make it yourself. Easier said than done, but at least try!
When you write a progress note for a transfer out from a nursing home/rehab center, it’s important to have certain details.
What happened
What time they left
Where they went to (very important!)
Who was notified
Bedhold policy provided
Bedhold policy is a Medicare requirement to be provided to a patient when they go out to the hospital. If the patient is unconscious, just put it with the hospital paperwork so you can document that it was provided.
Then you can discuss with the family. Social services may help in this regard.
What else would you add to a note like this?

How to speed up your med pass. When you first start out it can be pretty hard if you don’t know the brand and generic names of meds. Work on memorizing those as well as which meds are kept in the fridge to minimize the time you spend looking for them.
Lots of times INR levels are messed up when a patient on warfarin starts an antibiotic.
They will usually need more frequent monitoring of their blood levels.
It’s very important to make sure the doctor is aware of this potential interaction.
Amiodarone is another medication that often has an interaction with antibiotics. Always make sure to check for allergies as well.
And don’t forget to write your progress note!
