Re: Looking for a great ICU flow for RNs to organize their shift
I am attaching the one that I use. There is a front and back side to this and I am able to fit my 2 sheets of paper for my 2 pts easily in my pocket. I cannot take all the credit for this, I actually adapted a sheet I found on allnurses that I used when I was on med-surg and then modified it when I went to ICU. I circle the pertinent info and write other things in the blank. Example, circle NGT and write LIS. Often I circle what I am told in report and then put a check next to it during my assessment if I agree or if there is a change I write it down in the report section. Under admit info - I put outlying facility they came from, ground air etc. My back page is the details and I circle the hours I have meds scheduled and accuchecks scheduled and this is where I write down temps and if titrating what their VS's were. Hope this helps!
