Looking for a great ICU flow for RNs to organize their shift

Updated:   Published

Hi everyone...Thanks for taking a look ?

I am looking for a flow or as some nurses call it a "Brain sheet". Basically what I need is a worksheet to follow throughout my shift. We don't have a Kardex (well we do but it is never updated so we all use it as scrap paper). So I am wondering what do you guys use to organize your shift?? I need something to work off of, which would include times to give meds, lab draws, vent settings, ivf's etc. I want to design my own so I am looking for any good ideas out there.

Ps. I am extremely anal so the more info the better and I work in a SICU.

Any examples would be greatly appreciated.......

Please post or email them to me.

Thanks so much.

Hi I'm new to this great site and to nursing as well, and it seems that my shifts are a never ending mess,so this could really help if you could forward them to me

Thanks to "Elizabeth" for the sheets. These are really great! I plan to "mesh" about 3 of them together.

Again, thanks for sharing.
