Med Sheets Help!!

Published

Hey there, I am so tired of typing all the stuff for my Med sheets, like therapeutic class, action, client teaching and all that stuff. I am using the Nursing2009 Student Drug Handbook (a bit outdated i know). Does anyone know any good websites that can give me all the info I need? To reduce all the typing! Thanks!!!:D

Yes, I agree... I use Davis's Drug Guide since it was a required text. I use the CD, copy and paste, then re-use the same med sheets since a lot of our patients are on the same meds.

We get in trouble for copying and pasting in my program. We're supposed to summarize from our drug guide and make the med sheet patient specific (i.e, if the med calls for monitoring of VS, we have to include our patient's specific VS for the shift, etc). Nothing like making something harder than it needs to be!

Isn't it great -- especially when you have a patient on over 20 meds including PRNs. I like the Mosby's drug cards.

I also cut and paste from Davis's drug guide for stuff like dose, side effects, etc. What a time saver!!!!

I have always kept all of my Medication info. on index cards so they are readily available and I am not re-writing the same things over and over. Also, my instructors let us type out our care plans now, so now when I save the care plan I have a seperate file that I save the meds that I alreadey have all of this information on and just copy and paste it into my new care plan and tailor it to that specific pts. needs.

That's a good idea. I've never tried that and I'm a senior lol. Someone mentioned the Drug Guide CD and I've never tried that either. I'll have to check it out.
