Our EHR doesnt even allow us to copy and paste! The only times its very frusterating is when I need to annotate the same thing on a couple of labs (like faxed w/ results to x-ray, md notified, etc etc) and have to keep writting it over and over again. But I would never copy another nurses notes and just insert my own vitals even if it was the same exact thing from last shift but that's just me. If its legal and allowed in your hospital and your comfortable doing it then do it.

Is it ethical/legal to copy and paste a 24 hour nursing note from another nurse and when the patient's condition did not change from one shift to the next shift and then just update the VS?
