RN Shift Report Sheets - New Grad

[SICURN3]

Hello there! I just graduated nursing school this past month. I got a job in the SICU at a hospital in Pittsburgh.

In school I always made my own report sheets to organize my assessment findings, med times, iv, labs, etc. I have some ideas on what I would like to put on a sheet for my new job but not quite sure.

If any of you experienced RNs have any suggestions as to what to add or have your own copies that you are willing to share with me I would greatly appreciate it!

I can't wait to become an ICU nurse in 2 weeks!! ?

You are very welcome, ICURNBSN!! I posted that four years ago and have made multiple revisions as my pt population changes. I have since worked in an "all in one" ICU and now work as a critical care transport nurse. I still use the same "brain!" I'm glad someone else finds it to be useful as well!!!

This is a great thread and one that I will return to in the future!

That's so awesome, congrats! I'm currently doing my rotation in ICU & CICU for my last semester. I'd love to work in ICU! I also make my own patient report sheets and assessment sheets, may I see some examples of what has worked for you? When I start to precept I want to make sure to stay organized for multiple patients!

As an ER nurse for 6 years I began writing a program to take the place of shift report sheets, "nurse brains", post-its, scratch paper, etc. what features would interest you as a nurse in any specialty?
