Hello everyone,
I am a new nurse just started working a week ago. I saw "CDL" on a charting paper. I asked the nurse what it means, but I forgot when I got home -_- Can anyone help me out? Thanks!!!!

So, I found out. CDL stands for cardiac diagnostic lab. It may just being used in my hospital.

Your institution probably has a list of approved abbreviations. I'd make a copy of that for future reference. Some places also have a list of departmental abbreviations--might want to check that, too.
