This being the final semester for my LPN educational journey has me reflecting on what I have learned thus far. The title of this particular blog, “A to B to C U” is a thought that came to mind as we reviewed our clinical rotation schedule. Calls can be made to schedule an appointment or emergency situations may a rise, regardless of the course, when a patient/client enters the door of your facility they are initiating the need to be seen. This is the “A” of my statement. From this point cares are performed and as a nursing student it is vital that we follow the cares received. The “B” of my statement. The last portion of this statement is reflective to the build up to this point. Resolving the reason our patient/client sought care or at least alleviating the symptoms of long-term cares, and educating our patient/client on the outcome brings us to the “C U”. yes, it is when our patient/client is comfortable and healthy enough to leave our care for the moment or reason of their initial need.
I just thought I would share this acronym with you as in nursing we love to link our knowledge with silly sayings and acronyms. So the next time your in the process of caring for one who walks through your door, take a moment to remember A to B to C U, and you will be suprised at how thoughtful and caring the one you follow through will reflect on your ability to care for them.
I’ll chat later. Keep smiling!
