Health room log examples

[cowgirlBSN]

I was wondering if any of you minded sharing what your daily logs look like. The one I'm currently using isn't very good. It has the date, time, reason for visit (a very small area to fill in), and then a list of problems (illness, first aid,medication admin,health education,rest, etc.) that can be check marked. I like the idea behind it but I don't feel it's detailed enough. Do you have a short list like this and then fill out a more detailed on that goes in the student's chart? What do you put in the student's personal chart? Every stomach ache they come in with? I've just been putting in letters to parents I've written and issues such a lice or daily med logs. Thanks so much for your help!
