ICU report is usually pretty basic because the nurses are generally type-A personality, no matter what you tell them they will double check anyways. I usually cover the background then go head to toe.

Or they are like me, and just love to run their mouth about unimportant stuff. Which now that I think of it, isn't technically part of report...

On a serious note, I am def a type-A when it comes to report. I just use a blank peice of paper and only write a few quick notes. I trust keeping it in my head more than on a piece of paper I might lose...

Great report! This is how I prefer to give report, and receive it. Very concise!
