Jan 12, 201313 yr Does anyone know if there is a book on documenting in nurses notes? I am not good at it at all. I don't want to say too much or too little. A web site would also be helpful. More Like This General Nursing No nurses notes 8 Replies Active 02/03/2026 03:39 AM
Jan 12, 201313 yr The best way I've learned is to look at others note. You will see things you like and things you say "that shouldn't be in there." You can borrow others ideas of what to put in notes and make them your own. At my job we have "precut" nursing notes if we want to use them. Like: orientation, behavior, and problems for the shift. Hope that helps!

Jan 17, 201313 yr there is actually a book "Charting Made Easy". you can find it at barnes and nobles, and it goes through quite a few different types of documentation. Experience, though, is the best way to learn, as is practice and making some templates on paper to remind you what to include with each note. Hope this helps! THE ISBN for this book is 1605471968 and its cheap on amazon!
