Before an experienced nurse makes a phone call to a physician, he or she usually has an idea of the order that he or she expects to receive. As a new nurse, you are not expected to know everything. Here’s a tip to give you some help:
- Review your recommendation with a senior nurse by saying, “I have a situation that I would like to run by you for your advice.”
Asking for this type of mentorship builds confidence and skill. In addition, you are following SBAR (situation, background, assessment, recommendation) recommendations, which encourage nurses to think critically and share their thoughts.

Great point Mike. I actually purchased the SBAR video to use in a communication educational module that I am planning. My staff even have hangtags for their name badges that utilize the SBAR. Great way of having your ducks in a row!

Surprisingly! It’s like you read my mind! You seem to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you can do with some images to drive the content home a bit, but other than that, this is helpful blog. A outstanding read. I’ll certainly return again.

Use Reverse Phone Lookup to look up people calling you from their cell phones, using their phone numbers.

I have been surfing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be much more useful than ever before.
