New ICU RN- looking for sheets.

Published

Hi I am a new ICU RN and I am looking for a "brain sheet" to use when I go to work and get reports for my patients. I'm new, just got hired right into ICU (still in orientation) and when I get to the floor, its like I dont even know anything. So Im looking to see if anyone can help me with a sheet where I can take notes on and basically make it my other when Im lost, which is most of the time. lol

Also, any tips for a new ICU RN? Im still new, so my assessment skills and critical thinking arent bloomed yet so any advice would be appreciated.

thanks for reading

Esme12 has some great brain sheets. She hasn't been here lately for personal issues, but here is a link to a previous post where she posted links to some of her brain sheets. If you use the search function you might be able to find some more. I know those whose used them said they were very helpful.

You could try sending her a PM and asking her if she can give you links for other sheets.

Here's an older thread from the "Specialties" forum under "Critical Care." There are several examples of brain sheets to check out.
