We are currently working on an SBAR format and possibly a kardex form and then bedside reporting. I came up with this sheet and where it says sticker - I put a pt. sticker there from the chart as that has the admission date on it, admitting doctor and MR# which is used when verifying a pt. for blood transfusions. I have been using it for a month now and I seem to cover everything, with little check boxes upon completion of tests and such. I get 4 pt.s on a sheet and just write small. Can't find where to attach but it is made in excel and the boxes are various sizes . I can fit 4 of these on a page, portrait size. These are my prompts and I've found them very helpful (I've bolded each box header, it's 2 rows and each header is it's own box. sorry I did not see how to attach it)..Thanks everyone for the other sheets. You will find you don't need a lot of room for AM Labs and DC plan and I just circle if they have fall precautions and note Isolation so that box is small. Hope this helps STICKER/Allergies Diagnosis and Consults labs/e- replacement / Platelets/ WBCs/ H&H AM labs/DC plan Fall/Iso History/Adv Directives Assess: LOC, Pacemaker/Monitor, O2, NG, Bowel, Bladder, Skeletal (Activity), Skin (incisions, WOC), Diet Treatmt (travel by) / Tests / OR results To Call /Recommendations Meds / Vitals /PCA IV's/I & Os Fall/Iso IV's/I & Os Fall/Iso IV's/I & Os Fall/Iso IV's/I & Os Fall/Iso IV's/I & Os

Hello, the posts are helpful and I'm hoping the study guide for the PBDS is going to help. I'm a re-entry nurse and have been out of the hospital for almost 13 years. The re-entry review was completed in 08 and it's taken a while to find a job. I don't test well and am very nervous and anxious about this PBDS as it takes 6 hours? I'm reviewing like crazy and my experience is 13 years old too. Any advice? Am I to diagnosis and write a care plan? I've read where I'm to prioritize interventions with rationale behind for what I am to do first, within my shift and then later on. I've also read where nurses with much more experience than me fail it. Oh my....any suggestions on what else to study? review? Thanks so much!
