Gosh! What a surprise! Now I’m embarrassed to think I was going to leave the Nurse Uncut email unopened. THANK YOU! What an awesome prize. I have seen a few books in the past year that I’ve been interested in buying. Now I have no reason not to make a choice!
I wish I could read the other tips, but can’t find them. After April 7th, I don’t know if I’ve been on the site until tonight. I’ve been choosing other things like visiting my child at uni, making things and even some other writing.
Can I encourage you to have a go at entering the Nurse Uncut contests? I remember writing this tip. It isn’t my original idea. What I did was drag it out of that closet overflowing with things read, seen and heard ‘somewhere’. A bit of time was spent coaxing it into a concise format that matched what I thought was being sought. If I spent 15 minutes on it, well, you can work out what that time is now worth…
Do I practice what I preach? Sometimes. In one area where I work, nurses and patients are almost always in the same room for the day. There, I ask myself and my patient, ‘Is there anything else needed?’ before I leave their space. In another area, a couple of weeks ago, I told a patient I would check something and come back in 10 minutes with an answer. For some reason I got diverted. When the call bell rang from that room, I knew why. It gave me a prompt and a reason to divert again, back to the task I’d committed to do. It wasn’t another demand but a reminder and an excuse to get back to the track I wanted to be on.
Now that I’m on NU, I think I’ll have a look at what others have been saying -Oh! Diverted again!
