Im working on a form to keep all my multiple pateints data on throughout a clinical day- does anyone have anything they have made up or bought that they are willing to share?
I have 3 Columns per page on mine with the following data:
Admit Dx
Health HX
Treatments to date
VS inc. pain
Report from previous shift
Abn Labs
Diaganostic test
BG check/Units given
Allergies
Diet/Activity
IV meds
Teaching topic
Nursing Dx for day
Interventions/Goals
THings to do.
On the back of the sheet I have Medications 9 per column
I have searched the internet and can find no sample forms- I thought maybe other students might be able to help;)

I usually get a piece of paper and divide it up into however many pts and however many hours I have. Under the pt's dx I list allergies and then I list meds under the hour that they are to be given and other interventions at the time they need to be given. All the other info you are trying to keep track of seems to be alot. All of that should be easy access in the pt chart so I wouldn't waste time trying to write it all down. I don't know what you are required to do either.
All of what I listed is part of our instructors care plan we have to complete on each pt. I get to clinicals 45 minutes early and barely have time to look at charts - most of the information we have to obtain from the patient (excpet meds, labs, diag test, etc.) We are not allowed to print anything from the pts chart (HIPPA)
Trust me, I think its alot as well, but its what the instructor wants - All that information is fair game during post confrence for the instructor to ask - Arghhh and its usually the 1 thing I forgot to write down that Im asked about.

I have two that I've used all thru nursing school. You're welcome to use them if you'd like..
Assessment Report Form.doc
TELEMETRY PATIENT SHIFT REPORT.doc
In your clinical packet do they give you assessment forms that you write down all the pertinent info on. We have these forms that you do all of your assessments on and then you would have space on the back to keep all that other info.
Trusen- thanks for posting those 2 forms. We did not receive any kind of forms - my class mates and I have been working on building our own assessment and shift report forms -

try checking out some of the links at these sites for a form you might find useful for your clinicals.

often it is most efficient to just develop your own. some years ago i started using the table menu in word to develop report sheets for work and have learned how to use the formatting so well that i can create just about any kind of form i need if i can sketch it out on a piece of paper.
at this thread https://allnurses.com/forums/f50/report-sheet-149277.html you will find my attachment for my report sheet that i currently use as well as someone elses. it has some of the elements you need. feel free to copy and use it.
