 Hi guys, so I want to walk you through my typical ICU routine kind of what I do To give you guys a little rundown because I got a lot of people that ask me like what do you do when you show up to the Hospital in the morning. What's your routine in the morning? What do you all those things? So I'm just gonna do a sit-down video kind of talk through my day and Yeah, so when I get to work I always go put my stuff in the locker put my lunch in the fridge and in the break room is our assignment sheet It shows who has each room. So I get my little report sheet that I carry with me I have a few in my locker and I will go to my room assignments And this is when I get report from the night shift nurse So once I get report what I do is I try to kind of quickly look through the chart a little bit Just see any labs anything pertinent that stands out that I really need to deal with and then I like to Go in and assess both of my patients or one of my patients depending on if I have one or two at this time so I Go in I do my assessment. I usually kind of clean up the room everyone organizes their rooms differently so I kind of organize my stuff and make sure I have my supplies in the room and my tubes are labeled and my Ivy lines are labeled and all of that fun stuff that makes me an OCD ICU nurse and If the patient needs to get turned early in the morning and they get their total max assist I usually will turn them and I get my big assessment done and I usually do one patient go back and chart and then do the other patient and go back and chart throughout the day Things can change things can be crazy things can be slow So every hour I do the eyes and nose, you know See how much outputs in the Foley with how much has gone in and Tuck you like that and then I do vital signs. It depends on the patient if they're on a cardiac drip I may do vital signs every five to 15 minutes If they're unstable every five minutes every three minutes if it's a patient who's maybe a Lower acuity maybe every 30 minutes maybe every hour But first I usually typically do my vital eye vital signs at minimum every 30 minutes depending on the patient They may need more or less I try to do skin care every two hours with repositioning and of course throughout the day I'm tight-fitting drips and looking at the ventilator and assessing the patient We have to do assessments every four hours in the ICU and with any change and these are full assessments Which I will be doing a another video coming up soon here on ICU like head-to-toe assessment throughout the day I may get patients who are downgraded to like a telemetry floor med search floor So when that happens, of course, we have to get a long stay other call report Turn to the patient down and I may get patients who are upgraded to the ICU or admissions from the ER So that kind of you know varies my day I typically try to take a lunch break somewhere around One to two-ish if I'm lucky throughout the day doctors are always coming in the room the specialist and assessing the patients There's really no time specific time that they come by it just random Um and the morning we do rounds with all the like core staff and people involved in the patient's care and Kind of get a basis of what the day is bringing and at 7 o'clock night shift nurses come on and I give report And then I ideally get home well leave by 7 30 no later sometimes earlier sometimes later If I have to stay in chart and catch up on things, but yeah, that's a typical day It's sounds a lot simpler on when I'm just talking about it But really things can be crazy or they can be like totally boring just depends. That's what the ICU brings Thank you guys for watching this video make sure you give it thumbs up and subscribe to my channel And I'll see you guys next time. Bye
