An important skill every Nurse needs to learn

Triage. Sometimes called prioritizing. A highly important skill all Nurses must learn to develop early in their career. It's also a skill that is the mainstay of our profession.

How do you prioritize? What do you do first? What do you do second? What should be done last?
Which patient do you see first? Who is "sicker"?

It's time to start thinking in worse-case-scenario's. 

Reverse engineer the outcome. What would happen if you don't attend or complete the task at hand? What would happen? What would happen in 10 minutes? What about 10 hours? Which of those tasks creates a more unstable or unwanted outcome?

Until next time...
