Four Problems of Local Nurses in the Workplace
- Documentation is excessive
- As a Nurse it is really hard for us to balance our time during duty because of lots of paper works and intervntions to do. In Documentation itself from Assessment down to Nurse's Notes, nurses really have so much to do with this part plus dozen of patients we receive every shift. with 30 to 60 percent of nurse's work time eaten up due to documentation, nurses seldom engage in a normal comforting conversation with their patients. With this problem sometimes errors and mistakes with writing the documentation especially endorsement from a nurse to another nurse every shifting causes a problem because of so much patients to handle every nurse.
- Turnaround time is too long
- Turnaround time starts from the time a request is made to the time it was fully accomplished. This problem most commonly happen in public hospitals because all people in there are all busy you cannot see a nurse or other staffs who are sitting and chatting with each other inside the hospital. With this problem it, every departments of the hospital will be the problem why every patients cannot discharge early or the papers of the patients would not be processed early because one department has a problem in getting the result of the patients test or the department is not available, something like this problems can waste time of a nurse to do the daily tasks that should be done on that day.
- Nursing Processes are Inaccurate
- Rushing of other nursing processes may lead to commission of errors even if modern equipments and modalities are around to assist them in caring for their patients. Even if our part as a nurse in a actual area when it comes to time management is really hard we should always think first to our patient not ourselves because rushing things can cause errors especially during admission and administering medications because we didn't think the phrase "Client-centered" surely this can lead us in causing errors in the area. Presence of Mind is what we should always think and bring as we enter the hospital.
- Communication is Poor
- Technologies invented so many things to make communication from person to another person easier but when it comes to hospital this is not enough it is much better if the 2 communicators are present in the area because we don't no if the telephone is not available because it is damage and you need that person because of serious problem that happened when he/she endorsed to you his/her patient.
