clinical charge nurse (Current Employee) - London, ENG - 6 August 2014

work in busy admission ward which is the single point of entry for all patients in the unit. in a day admission assessment can vary from 0-7 depending on level of acuity of the ward and patients. it can get busy and while trying to handle the admission there are ward activities to be carried out such as patients meals, medication, daily community meetings, ward rounds, answering calls, attending to patients needs and providing high quality care for patients. Also attending to visitors meeting with carers and also liaising with other professions and wards ensuring that patient care and needs are been met. In the mix of this as a charge nurse also might meet up with junior staff offering supervision and training. Doing daily audits on the ward and deputising the ward manager. What I learnt: is an unpredictable ward and often things do not go according to plan instead of getting stressed or angry and channel all my energy in other things and have learnt to identify when i need to take time out and also manage my stress well. Management: is not an individual single sole person role it involves team work constant effective communication, following protocols having standard, its evidence based, audits, monitoring and measuring, people, services and organisation and how you can make develop better service for patients and staff. my co-workers that we are all different and have different skills and development needs and we work different with each other based either on our preference or interests on that person. I embrace individuality and diversity and equality. The hardest -

Charge Nurse (Current Employee) - London, ENG - 18 June 2014

Diraect client care: assessment, care planning and review. Admiting clients on daily basis, clients preseningt with different health issues, enhances my experience. Managing junior staff through supervision. Providing induction and training for new staff. Faced with different issue daily means no one day is like any other. At the same time this provides learning constant opportunities. There is never a dull moment in my job.
