💥-Be Proactive Not Reactive! Be prepared ahead of time for anything! Ensure that your rooms are stocked and ready for business. Suction? Oxygen? Ambu Bags? Pulse oximetry? Cardiac monitor leads? Bp cuff? Do you know where your IV supplies are? Is the crash cart readily available? Is your glucometer ready for business?
💥-Team Work Makes the Dream Work! The Emergency Department is dynamic, if you don't work as a team, you will not succeed. Help each other and have fun at the same time. Remember, its One Team.
💥-You will not know everything, EVER, and that's ok! This specifically applies to new grads! Ask questions, lots of them! If everyone is super busy, wait until patients are stabilized, then ask away! The more you know, the more confident you'll be, and at the same time you'll realize how much you actually don't know. So, ask more questions.
💥-Charting is extremely important! HOWEVER, patient care ALWAYS comes before charting! Take notes on a piece of paper as the what is happening with times, then when you do get a chance to sit down, chart away. But don't forget, patient care comes above anything else.

✅Answer to the question of the day✅
-You have to check if they are pregnant! Unless patient is older, and they've had a hysterectomy, an actual test needs to done to ensure the pt is not pregnant. This is important because pregnancy may be the reason why the patient is having their symptoms, however, it is also important because Radiology and meds are commonly ordered, and they can affect a pregnancy.
-How can you as a nurse check it? The first would be doing a point of care(bed side) test with patients urine. The next, which is often best because you cant wait for the patient to urinate, is to get half an ml or 1 ml of pt's blood, and place a few drops onto a poc testing, just like you would for urine, then give it a few minutes (do other stuff in the mean time), and you will get a result. These are also very accurate. Just remember, it has to only be blood, do not add NS or anything to make it go faster.
