Education
REMEMBER (part 1)
As you may imagine, I read rather a lot about nursing. Magazines, books, newsletters, blogs – you name it and I almost read it! I believe I’ve already mentioned that some titles really draw me in. I really like lists, so after I come across anything that starts with “Top 10,” “Tips for,” or “List,” there’s an excellent probability I’ll open that page or click that link. Another favorite thing of mine are mnemonics, that are easy tricks for remembering complicated things, that are very helpful in nursing school and in practice!
Here are a few of my favorites:
To enable you to organize your day…
IMAGE: Introduce yourself, medications, assessment, purpose, explain and educate
To assess the symptom…
PQRST: Provocative/Palliative (what makes things higher/worse), Quality/Quantity, Region/Radiation, Severity, Time
To assess skin changes…
ABCDE: Asymmetry, Border, Color/Configuration, Diameter/Drainage, Evolution
To evaluate students…
PERRLA: Students are equal, round, conscious of light and accommodation
To include in your documentation…
PIE: Problem, intervention, assessment
More to return… Remember the one who memorized all of the cranial nerves?
