How can a nurse who is consistently falling behind at work improve to become more organized and disciplined?
1. Use the same system every day to organize client care and required activities such as paperwork.
2. Ask the nurse manager to grant permission for fewer client assignments until more experience with organization is achieved.
3. Ask the unit secretary to do required paperwork to decrease the amount of time required.
4. Practice a shorter client assessment technique to minimize the time required for this activity.
