A nurse's priorities
When a nurse's priorities are wrong
In the image above, Jenna is a new nurse.
She has not fully understood the importance
of safe nursing practices.
Her desperation to be on time to meet a friend
for lunch, took priority over patient safety.
Jenna works in the ICU. The monitor alarm
of the patient in her care, was going off. She
made no attempt to check if something was
wrong.

is cared for in the ICU, requires a higher level
of care.
It is unfortunate Jenna did not prioritize.
