This is the "brain" that I use. I make a double sided copy, so I only have one paper in my pocket. Hope this helps!

"I work with people who lose their minds if they misplace their "memory sheets."
I have this problem, so to solve it I print the worksheet out on a colored paper which makes it highly visable to me and others. That has reduced this problem.

Here is my report sheet that I currently use when I'm in the ICU as well. I've had a number of people PM me and sent copies via email so here is a copy of the one I like!

I'm attaching one that I use and like. It has slots for each hour of my shift that I write in things that are due like meds or timed labs and I write HR, BP, RR, Temp into the boxes Q4...it helps me stay on top of what I should be doing throughout my 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!
