How do you stay organized?

[Dempather, RN]

Hey guys -- I'd like some advice on how to stay a little more organized with my patient info. My floor has tape reports and the nurses on the floor get print-outs of the pertinent patient info (kardex), but I often need an additional blank page to copy down all the info from reports (and then, I'm flipping back and forth between the kardex and the sheet with all the information I wrote down). By the time I get around to reporting off at the end of my shift, all the labs, vitals, procedures, med info, and anything else are ALL over the place. My preceptor needs to reassure me that I don't sound like a crazy woman on tape.... repeatedly. Any help would be great. :) Thanks!
