    Mine are real simple. I do not even fill out the damn whiteboards. I hate those things.

    Love it! Our boards have a spot for date of discharge... like we really know that in advance enough to write it down!

    I'm with you!!! On my unit they are a total waste of time....
    And if I were to ask my pts ( at least 90% of them) " As your nurse, what do you think I can do for you today"....the answer would most likely go something like this...

    " I need you to milk the cows....and we need to sell these shoehorns by noon...and can you please wash this green pepper in the toilet for me?"

    Ahhh....the joys of geri/psych!!

    I walked into a room once where the "Goal for the day" was "To Poop!" on the white board. I was a bit shocked and also a little amused at the same time. The patient must've seen my expression because she then politely asked me to erase what the previous nurse had written. She stated that although that is her goal, she didn't want it up there for all to see, especially family and friends who may visit. That was back when I was a CNA going to nursing school. I made a mental note then to always ask if the patient would like their goals written down on the white board, regardless if it were something that blatant or not.

    i totally agree for the most part the goal for 98% of my patients is to go home! so that's what I put. I will put up questions they have for the doctors since i work nights and they aren't making rounds until the next day, this helps the patients remember that they had questions
