New med-surg nurse with a psych background struggles to manage full patient assignment due to unfamiliarity with surgical tasks, IVs, charting, and provider communication.

Workarounds Described

• Relies on preceptors for verbal guidance on IV hydration timing and provider paging protocols
• Uses mental notes and paper to track which fluids need restarting after IV team visits
• Repeatedly asks different preceptors for same information on provider contact rules

Implied Software Gaps

• Mobile app that provides unit-specific IV management reminders and protocols
• Automated provider paging decision tree based on time and patient condition
• Real-time charting dashboard that flags missed or incomplete documentation
