Oh this is brilliant, I'm in my final year now and I have only ever done 3 handovers during my training and I am so nervous about it especially when people think that I should know everything. Thank you x
i feel you Aaron, i was avaoiding my handover as possible in my placements lol, but we really have to do it right, i am on my third year from January 2022.
This is so useful!! I’m a bit worried about handovers cause I unintentionally mumble sometimes due to being nervousness but feel like the more I do it the better I will be xx
Chlo you absolutely will! 🥰 Practice makes perfect! Don’t think of your audience when you speak, think that you’re doing it to help your patients 🌻💗 xx
This was great help thank you. My nervousness from doing handover is not remembering what I need to say. I have never done handover yet so that probably makes me more nervous when it is my turn 😊😊
This is great! Thank you! For me, I have to create like a ‘nurses brain’ on a sheet of A4. With all my patients having a section each with everything from their presenting condition, to any investigations I did and the results of them, to their allergies, any meds they’ve had and last set of obs I did etc. I end up writing quite a lot of info, but by writing it, it actually sticks in my head more and I end up only needing my ‘nurses brain’ as a prompt if I think I’ve forgotten anything.

This is good advice, and a great channel. Unfortunately during my early years as a Nurse,I was regularly made sport of for my nerve wracking handovers. It was horrible, I don't know how I ever stayed! Fortunately I developed a separate crib sheet for myself which I still use. SBAR is a great tool. Remember; focus on the important stuff & its ok to say 'I don't know'. You can't possibly know every single detail for 10 to 16 patients as was regularly expected of me.
This is great thank you x I’m a 3rd year on my final placement…did all 3 handover’s yesterday and the MDT…..missed a few bits but was prompted by the sister….felt better for doing it and it broke the ice xx
Thank you, this is great. I just began my graduate year and have been finding it difficult to know what questions to ask the nurse who is giving the handover, some of them breeze threw it and I find myself writing to keep up and then having questions after they have left..... maybe if you could do another video on receiving handover and questions to ask, that would be fantastic!
First year and first placement- the hardest part for me is the acronym (lots of them). And sometimes I can not hear what the nurses are saying because I am standing behind them trying to listen and learn
Morning! Oh no! That’s not good :( maybe ask the nurses to give you a list of the acronyms to help you? One of my mentors did that and it helped so much! Try and stand in front of the nurse handing over if you can as well :( I know it can be hard sometimes. But if you don’t hear the handover, how do you know what’s happening with your patients. Or maybe ask one of them to go over it with you after?
@@michela1620 social service are people who check everything is ok :) When children get hurt at home they always do a check to check the child is ok and safe. That’s normal for them to do that ❤️
@@ClaireCarmichael can you give me any good advice for handovers? I'm dreading going back doing a hand over again. Especially when we go to Chester they don't exactly like Welsh people 😬😂.

Aaron Brown Awww don’t worry :) we can’t know it all honestly! Keep going 💗 and congratulations for your final year whooop! Xx
@@ClaireCarmichael Thank you !! I've already recommended your channel to my cohort xx
im in my second year and i have only done one handover. I felt so dumb😥
i feel you Aaron, i was avaoiding my handover as possible in my placements lol, but we really have to do it right, i am on my third year from January 2022.
This video was really helpful. I still haven't had the opportunity to give a handover but hopefully I will nail it soon!

@@ClaireCarmichael Yess! Come pick up a shift in the ED! :D We’d be an awesome team! X

Oooh that’s a good idea!! Thank you! 💗
I've been a nurse for 6 months and still have a mini panic attach before EVERY handover !😪
Very helpful

District nurse it's a social service?? For children??
District nursing is nurses going to patients home to nurse them :)
@@michela1620 social service are people who check everything is ok :) When children get hurt at home they always do a check to check the child is ok and safe. That’s normal for them to do that ❤️
Becouse i have a call from district team nurse?? Not social service.
Why i get scared is because nurses are very judgmental in someone who is training to do handovers.
I’ve never seen anyone be judgemental on a hand over :)
@@ClaireCarmichael I must have been unlucky I guess 😂
