In-Side-Out and Up-Side-Down

It has been just about a month since I last made an entry and announced that I was making a major move. I’m in the process of settling-in: not settled. I have learned a lot about myself in this process, and bits and pieces about a whole lot of other “things.” For instance, there are “things” in life that are pretty absolute. “Things” that don’t co-exist: night and day, up and down, in and out, front and back, life and death... Play with that for awhile and you will realize that you cannot mix and match, you must choose. So, here is my new dilemma: IN-patient and OUT-patient! Hello brain-freeze! Hello melt-down! Hello, Alice! Am I in-side-out or up-side-down? And, where is that Walrus when you need to “talk of many things!”

Comfort zones are wonderful places. That zone might exist in the midst of chaos but it is what one knows and it is OK. Somehow you make it work almost to the point of discomfort. Since man landed on the moon, I have been an IN-patient, multi-specialties nurse except for a clinic stint somewhere in the 70’s. When I abruptly moved, I went all OUT and entered the OUT-patient zone: initially, a new type of chaos for me. I think after comparing IN and OUT to the point of driving my preceptor totally daft, we have settled on this as the trigger point: “Dorothy, you are not in Kansas anymore!”

In reality, this has been a whirlwind month. I have been challenged. I am learning something new every day. (A word to new grads: We survive! We are resilient.) I am having fun. I enjoy the people I have met and I have embraced a wonderful new patient population. Synergy is alive and well on my radar. Out-patient Synergy! WOW! And, I used to think I knew something about blood... merely a drop in the bucket! It is exciting OUT here. The challenge for me is that I’m not IN there.

So, I have moved my cheese. Literally. During this change, I decided I would try new cheese with my new move. I have discovered a magnificent stout Stilton-blue from Britain and a fabulous slice of nursing in a remote corner of the basement in Methodist Hospital.

Teamwork Promotes Safe and Ethical Behavior

Teamwork Promotes Safe and Ethical Behavior

When was the last time you tried to name Disney’s Seven Dwarfs? (Doc, Grumpy, Dopey, Sneezy, Sleepy, Bashful and Happy.) It’s a safe bet the Seven Dwarfs knew each other’s names, and Snow White learned them pretty quickly. The dwarfs had to rely on each other, and Snow White had to rely on them. They were, in essence, a team, in part because of established obligations of fidelity.

Like the fictional world of Disney, our very real world of health care involves obligations of fidelity. These obligations arise whenever a health care professional establishes a significant relationship with someone else, usually a patient. Fidelity establishes a commitment to another person, a promise to be faithful and loyal. Obviously we need to establish this relationship with patients, but what about establishing one with our teammates?

We all know that our teams look different this time of year. July is a difficult time. The hospital is flooded with new interns and residents typically just after an influx of newly graduated nurses. We haven’t had a chance to get to know each other or establish relationships. A recent study reviewed deaths from medication errors and found a 10 percent spike in these events in teaching hospitals in July. The authors of the study hypothesized that part of the explanation for this was that medical residents operate more independently than on a team.

Anyone who has ever been involved in a medication error knows that an entire team is involved in the administration of medication, not just the physician. An intervention to improve patient safety offers a simple, reasonable opportunity for us to address the “July effect.” It’s called the activation phenomenon.

Better teamwork is observed when people on a team take the time to introduce themselves to each other. When people know the names of others on the team, they are more likely to speak up if they see a problem.

Take the time to establish a relationship with members of your new team. Introduce yourself and make sure your teammates know you are committed not just to patients, but also to the success of the team. Formally establishing fiduciary relationships with each other in support of safe, quality patient care promotes ethical practice.

********************SYSTEM HTML | ADDED:7/29/2010 4:31:41 PM********************
[...]

Regardless of the “sense and non-sense” and endless interpretation of Lewis Carroll’s writings, I have always enjoyed a certain segment of the poem The Walrus and the Carpenter which is tucked away somewhere in the adventures of Alice Through The Looking Glass. The poem has been around since the 1870’s and I learned it from my grandmother and passed it on to my children. My grandchildren will not be spared. I have not done any great in-depth analysis of the poem, as many have, but often repeat these lines:
   The time has come, the Walrus said,
   To talk of many things:
   Of shoes..and ships..and sealing wax..
   Of cabbages and kings..
   And why the sea is boiling hot
   And whether pigs have wings.

We could have a great talk about sealing-wax. In my mind, I would love to see it make a comeback. However, the time has come to talk of many other things:
   Of early mornings that become endless days..
   Hallways that are racetracks..
   Opportunities, timing, choices.
   Bundles and sets
   Of Policies, Protocols, Politics & Patient Care
   Fear of falling; Fear of not falling; Fear of Failing; Fear of Succeeding; Fear of You
   Anagrams: ITYK
   Input, output, opinions, ideas, place
   Of crossroads, decisions, direction, self-evaluation
Oh, we could talk of many things! But, someone has to listen! Is that me or you?

And, we could talk of life. Of times when roads diverge and we are compelled to stop
and carefully analyze the complex maze of direction choices on the map before us. And, we could talk about what Alice really saw in the Looking Glass! Well, this is what I see: the cheese is moving, pigs are flying, the oysters are dead and after 17 years on 4-medicine, I’m moving to the Mother Ship. Why? Because the Walrus said, “The time has come”!

What is in your Looking Glass?

I Am a Staff Nurse, Bedside Nurse, Nurse Clinician, and Associate Partner Everyday

I lost the month of March! I had a major interior house project done and my computer was shut down. A month of e-mails is a terrible thing to face! This whole situation raises the question: what would you do without technology for a month? No desk-top, lap top, T-3’s, I-3’s, cells or for that matter, TV. I found myself in the garden and I caught up on some reading: what a novel idea! Nursing journals: oh, my! It’s enough to make your head swim.

I was particularly interested in one snippet in NurseWeek that was a simple letter to the editor from a retired nurse in Michigan. She was concerned that the nurses receiving recognition were administrators, managers, educators, practitioners - everyone but the “everyday nurse.” She went on to describe the “everyday nurse” as the person who was everything to everyone all of the time. From patient and family care to linens, floors & garbage, she drew a picture of the “everyday nurse” and felt they needed more recognition.

I didn’t disagree with any of that, but I was a bit perplexed regarding the terminology “everyday nurse.” It was new to me, and for some reason, I didn’t like it. It reminded me of everyday shoes or everyday “wash and wear” or an everyday hair-do. Naturally, when something niggles me, I want to know what other people think. I guess I need verification that I am not an odd-ball! I did a random survey on 4-Medicine, assuming there were no odd-balls there, and discovered the same response. People did not like it, but they weren’t sure why. The terminology itself seems to have negative connotations for people. Over-time I have been a staff nurse, bedside nurse, nurse clinician, associate partner…Of the mix, people seem to like staff nurse the best. It has a stellar tone.

In reality, when it is all said and done, I am an “everyday nurse.” Just don’t call me that!

Oh, and whatever my title, I need recognition.

Sherry
