This module emphasizes the importance of time management, prioritizing, and organization. As a nurse we will have many responsibilities that all revolve around each other, most of us will have more than one patient so we will have to coordinate all those moving pieces with all of our other patients. Being able to pick out the most important tasks and prioritizing what needs to get done first is critical. As a nursing assistant I review all my patients in the morning at the beginning of my shift. What I am looking for at this time is have any of their orders change, are there any new ones that need to get done today, any updates in status, do they have any procedures today. By getting together all this information it makes it easier to decide who I am going to see first. I feel like this skill will definitely benefit me and my time management as a nurse someday.
