Nursing students and new nurses: save this one.
When your brain is telling you everything needs to happen right now, give yourself a process.
Start with:
What changed?
What presents the greatest immediate risk?
Who needs reassessment?
What cannot safely wait?
What can wait?
This isn’t a substitute for assessment, clinical judgment, your organization’s policies, or asking for help when you need it.
It’s a way to begin organizing your thinking when everything feels important at once.
Prioritization develops through practice, feedback, reflection and experience. 💙
Which of these questions do you want to remember on your next shift?
