ED Cheat sheet?

[MILOBRI]

I'm a new grad working in acute care PRN, about to start working full time in another hospital's ER in a couple of weeks. As a new grad, my saving grace has been developing a cheat sheet to help me stay organized with my meds and assessments, documentation, labs, etc. I copy my cheat sheet and use it for each patient. It helps a lot when it's time to report off to the next shift, too. I'm not really sure what I'm getting into in the ER or how it's going to go, but is there anything at all that you would suggest to make my transition easier? Thanks!

I am the major outlier here. I like to keep notes. I write as I interview initially. I keep the papers and then when a doc gives me a med or whatever, I write it down w/time. It helps me to know without having to log in. It also helps me keep things straight when asked questions from docs about something that happened who knows how long ago.
