Triage instinct – part 1 rss

Triage instinct – part 1

A colleague of mine once told me, ‘‘when a nurse tells me that she’s good doing triage, I know right a way that she’s wrong.’’  And part of it is true. I don’t think you can allow yourself to be comfortable doing triage. You need to doubt yourself in order to maintain a level of alert.  A sentiment of fear that will push you to go forward in your evaluation, analysis and supervision. It is that edge that will sharpen your instincts,  those same instincts that will guide you in making the right decisions from the bad ones.
