You are very welcome!
The step up from medical student to intern is huge mostly in terms of work load. As a medical student, this is still your time to learn the medical knowledge as best as possible. If you can stay organized in your approach that can make things easier. Typically in the morning I come in and walk around the unit to just see how the patients look. Get sign out if I even get one. Then at the computer, i look at why the patient is here/critically ill and create a major problem list for each patient. Then i look at any notes in the past day to see if any consultants put anything I might have missed etc. Then i look at vitals such as fever etc, I/O including UOP/gastric intake etc, labs, micro, and imaging. Then I look at each med and think as to why that med is there. Then look at any continuous meds including IVF and think if that is still needed. Then I go through FAST HUGS BID as another check point. For each pt, depending on acuity/complexity, this takes me about 5-15 minutes per patient to prechart so sometimes I am precharting for a couple hours in the morning. Honestly, note writing comes in last for me. Then throughout the day, about every hour I am walking around the unit going into each room saying hi to the patient or family members or talking with the nurses/RTs. At then end of the day is usually when I complete my notes which means I usually don't get them done late, but it gives me another chance to revisit everything again as I put my thoughts to paper (EPIC lol). At some point things will get easier to both keep up with the increased work responsibilities and understand the critical medical decisions. It's truly an art and practice and life long learning.
