report is an important part of (continuity of) patient care
it involves at least 2 staff members and so the responsibility
to ensure a successful report lies with at least 2 staff members
it is yet another skill that improves with experience (hopefully :) )
that fact that you care and want to get better at it makes you
golden in my book
rather than ripping you, a seasoned nurse could take the opportunity
for teaching such as explaining why something you omitted is of
importance
i like to carry a notepad with me all shift and organize my report sheet
at the end of the shift, if i'm not quite ready for report when the oncoming
arrives, i'll tell them i need a minute and to feel free to look
at the new admit notes, labs or whatever is new
don't sweat it too much, you'll find your own system and you'll get good at it
