Do you have a pass?

"No redness, swelling, bruising noted at this time, ROM wnl" is one that I use a lot.

"Pupils equal and reactive, no dizziness or nausea reported at this time"

[NurseBeans, BSN, MSN, RN]

It bears mentioning that I have a document on my desktop with some of my most commonly used notes. I copy and paste and alter to suit the student. I realize this may not be best practice but it saves me a lot of time and angst when finishing documentation. I figured if drop-downs are permitted, why not standard notes in the narrative? I was just finding myself typing the same things over and over anyway.

I have thought about doing this too! I use the same phrasing over and over.

Have you been spying on me in my health office???? :) I say all those things daily! How about "Suck it up, buttercup"? I don't actually say that, but I think it A LOT.

"I think we should cut it off."

"Ugh...You're killing me, smalls!"

"FLUSH THE TOILET!"

I don't think these are the things you were looking for, but ya know...

"Mind yer business"

[scuba nurse, BSN, MSN, RN]

"Did you have this at home, or when did it start?"

"Flush the toilet?"

"Wash your hands!"

"you are going home in 1 hour, I think you can make it."

I love all of these.

Our SNAP program has preset visit templates which save a ton of time. But I enjoy putting direct quotes in from students.

"Mom told me to see you as soon as I got in"

"When did the headache start?" "Last October"

"How did you get hurt?" "Buddy got mad during dodgeball and hit me in the face... by accident"
