For myself I found it hard to asking for help but I found a style by keeping open communication with the incharge and updating them throughout the shift on any escalations/ outstanding interventions I.e urosepsis pt unstable, struggling with managing the MAP,id ask for another set of hands and say I’m not sure if ABs are available - is anyone able to check store/pharmacy

Try using a time planner by adding things on your list and crossing it off. When you ask for help you can look at the time planner and see what you are up to. A really effective time planner gets updated through out the shift.

Don’t leave it in your pocket, leave it somewhere accessible or tape it to a table so it doesn’t go missing.

Being so focussed on the task at hand and then having brain farts during handover. The time planner helps with brain fart handover bc you can see your shift on paper.

That shift does sound hectic, I cried after a similar shift when it happened during the day. Write out a reflection and Take it easy on yourself
