Re: Nursing Orders
Implementing ordersets is a big effort, as I am sure you know. The major steps include finding generic ordersets, customizing them to the hospital (even the unit), making them available (whether paper or electronic), training nurses how to use them, ensuring their use, and keeping them current.
You can find literally hundreds of evidence-based ordersets at
http://www.guideline.gov (although they are usually a mix of medical and nursing orders).
Using Google, I also found these non-government sites which allow public access to their internal ordersets:

Good luck!
