ER Nursing notes tips

Hey everyone!

I'm a new ER nurse (new grad) and I was wondering what you all absolutely include in your initial notes when you see someone as a new patient and then your follow-up notes what you like to include, or are sure to include. I think I'm getting better at writing notes but I was looking for different things that you all may do to protect yourself while providing good patient info/updates. Im in a very busy ER so Im looking for a way to write awesome notes while also being time conscious. Thanks in advance!

    Only applicable to when somebody leaves. But, if someone leaves AMA(Against Medical Advice) make sure that you always write that disability, loss of lifestyle and death are risks of doing so. Believe me, write this if it is a hangnail, a stubbed toe, anything. I've had a patient leave AMA and expire within several hours of doing so. If possible have a second witness to the patient signing AMA paperwork, and document it.
