It might sound negative, but in medicine, we always have to be ready for things to go wrong. Falls, strokes, codes, rapids, field trips, violence...the list goes ON! The best exercise we can do every shift is taking time to consider what could go wrong, and what your plan of action would be if they do. This is also an incredibly powerful practice for improving your skill in critical thinking. We chat about how you can build this skill, its value, and examples of its application. Use this to save your patients, decrease your nursing stress, and protect your practice!
