Need end-of-shift report sheet!

Hi there! I am a new RN, starting out in med-surg. Does anyone have any report sheets or patient organization sheets that you could pass on to me? Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I am still trying to figure out what works for me...

Specializes in Tele,CCU,ER.

Nice report sheets.....am so glad....thanks

I was in the Float Pool for many years so I had a generic report receiving/change-of-shift. I would do a brief run/down of all systems:

I would just put the letters that corresponded with the system:

N(neuro)--are they alert/oriented, any behavioral problems

P(pulmonary)-any breathing problems, are they on O2, RT treatments

C(cardiac)-Heart rhythm problems, chest pain, blood pressure issues

GI/GU-are they voiding or have a Foley, any constipation problems, diarrhea, blood in their stools.

Pain-any pain issues and when they last received analgesics

IV-site, rate, IV gtts/medications

Diet-are they eating, NPO

Activity-bedrest, mobility issues, fall precautions or any other precautions

It goes pretty fast once you get a rhythm going.

I Just Searched And Found All These Report Sheets. They Are Excellent For My Assignment Due Tomorrow. They Will Also Be Helpful With My Preceptorship Starting Mon. Thanks For The Help!!

Does anyone have a report sheet that is used for a NICU?

Thanks for the sheets, starting my preceptorship this week in the ICU! Graduating in May!!!

Would like copies of those attachments for some reason I can't down load.
