25

My days are from 830am to 530pm. From 830am till 3pm I service 1 and a half ward, medical and half of rehab, the rest of the day I spend helping out in Outpatients.

In theory I have 25 patients that I looked after every day. Well 25 beds that is...the number varies from 25 upwards..

Some days I get 7 discharges..thus my number would climb to 32..my highest so far is 13.. today I had 2 go and had 3 newbies which I got to see 1 so I had 26 only..the 2 would carry over to the next day. It was a quiet day for me..

My week would start as such..Mondays and Tuesdays are stocking up days..I'd see all my patients and stock them up for the week..until atleast Tuesday of the week after ..just in case Monday is a busy day and I don't get around to check their drawers...

then Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays are reserved for getting discharges ready..stocking up any newbies...stocking up any additions to my existing patients' orders chasing up problems and checking their medication room...ie checking their DD registers and stocking up their safe...stocking up IVs for all my patients..tidy up their cupboards..

that's in theory...:) anything goes...my days are non-structured thus as long as I get everything done I can start and finish as I like... I find this way works best..
