Change of Shift Report Question

Hi I am a new nurse and have been working on a rehab floor in a skilled nursing facility where I have 16 to 20 patients anyways I was wondering how to do a change of shift report for LTR because I was taught to do SBAR but with the many patients it doesn't work the nurse training me said it is okay to just report no changes for patients that didn't have anything recently going on. This is my second day working as a nurse

    There is nothing wrong with reporting "no changes" as long as the nurse you are reporting to has been with the patient before. Saves a lot of time.

    If the nurse you are giving report to knows the patient, “no changes” is fine. If you did a full SBAR for 20 patients, you’d never get out of there!

    You will learn what your coworkers like in report. Some will ask you what the patient’s blood glucose level was yesterday at lunch (in other words, they want to know every last detail, no matter how unimportant) and some will wave you off and say “I’m good” and everything in between. I try to cater to their needs/wants as best I can (except the one who wants to know everything; I say “I don’t remember; it’s in the chart.”).

    I love that response, "I don't remember; it's in the chart."
