🎙️ Using Clinical Loitering Tickets to Boost Engagement
In this episode of Learning Lab RN, Brianne Conley shares a clever idea to shift students from “hiding in the charting room” to fully engaging in clinical: clinical loitering tickets. These simple slips help students stay present, focused, and accountable during their clinical shifts. We talk about how she introduces the tickets, how students respond, and how each ticket becomes a learning moment, not a punishment.
Key Takeaways:
- Loitering tickets prompt students to take action: restock, review a policy, or pitch in on the unit.
- Debriefing in post-conference turns mistakes into opportunities to learn and lead.
- Students quickly begin to self-monitor and support a more professional, engaged clinical culture.
