Clinical Confidence Wednesday ๐๐ฉบ
New nurse or nursing student, building clinical confidence starts with learning how to recognize when a patientโs condition may be changing.
One helpful tool many healthcare teams use is the ๐ ๐๐ช๐ฆ ๐ง๐ผ๐ผ๐น โ ๐ ๐ผ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐น๐ ๐ช๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ป๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ. ๐ ๐๐ช๐ฆ helps nurses identify early signs of patient deterioration by looking at key clinical indicators such as:
โข Respiratory rate
โข Heart rate
โข Blood pressure
โข Temperature
โข Level of consciousness
โข Urine output,
depending on facility policy.
Why is MEWS important?
Because small changes can be early warning signs. When you know what to watch for, you can communicate concerns sooner, escalate care appropriately, and help keep your patients safer. It supports timely decision-making, stronger nurse-provider communication, and better patient outcomes.
Remember: using a tool like MEWS is not about replacing your nursing judgment, it helps strengthen it. Your assessment skills, critical thinking, and willingness to speak up matter. ๐๐ฝโจ
To my new nurse or student reading this:
๐ญWhat is one assessment skill youโre working on becoming more confident in this week? You are learning, growing, and becoming more prepared every day. Keep going โ your patients need the nurse you are becoming.

Motivation Monday๐
Whether youโre entering nursing school or stepping into your career, donโt forget to put on the Armor of God.
This is an action: ๐ฎ ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ถ๐น๐ ๐ฐ๐ต๐ผ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ ๐๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฟ๐บ, ๐๐๐ฎ๐ ๐ด๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ป๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฑ, ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐บ๐ผ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ถ๐๐ต ๐ฝ๐๐ฟ๐ฝ๐ผ๐๐ฒ.
Youโve got this, truly.- Nurse Shenell
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.
11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devilโs schemes.
12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.
14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,
15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.
16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lordโs people.

Where are my Code Stroke Nurses?!
Stroke symptoms can appear fast, and the patient can decline even faster.
A Code Stroke demands rapid assessment, clear communication, and confident action.
Your clinical confidence is part of the chain that protects the patientโs future. ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ถ๐๐๐๐ฒ ๐ฑ๐ผ๐ฒ๐๐ป'๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐.

It's Clinical Confidence Wednesday๐
Here's an example to help you build your clinical confidence. YW๐
S โ Situation:
โHi Dr. Jones, this is Shenell calling from Transient. Iโm reaching out about Mrs. Jane Smith, a 65โyearโold female in room 321. She was admitted earlier today with pneumonia and is currently on 2L Oโ via nasal cannula.โ
B โ Background:
โHer oxygen saturation has dropped to 88%. Sheโs reporting shortness of breath, and on assessment she has wheezing with bilateral lowerโlobe crackles. Her head of bed is elevated, and respiratory therapy has already provided a breathing treatment.โ
A โ Assessment:
โDespite interventions, her Oโ saturation remains low and her respiratory symptoms are worsening.โ
R โ Recommendation:
โIโd like to know if youโd like to order additional breathing treatments or medications, repeat a chest Xโray, and consider consulting her pulmonologist.โ
