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...

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.
