Patient Care Checklist/Sheet

Published

Hi all! I am an ER new grad and realize how important organization is with the constant turnover of patients. Does anyone have a patient care template for a sheet that they use? During nursing school, a lot of the floor nurses had sheets that worked for them but they are not not quite relevant for ER. Thank you!

Thanks a bunch! I sure appreciate it! I will look through these.

I carry a stack of small scrap paper (letter paper torn in quarters, usually). When I come in and get report at beginning of shift, I take short notes for all rooms on one piece. As I go through the night, I use a new piece for each pt. I can jot allergies meds hx assessment and vitals. When pts leave I can shred that sheet and keep moving. I don't have a fixed layout, but I tend to do allergies meds hx along one side, assessment findings down the other. They become almost like a card file I'm my pocket.
