I agree, don't come into work sick. I can't stand the martyrs that do that, no sympathy from me, plus you are spreading your germs to, already, compremised patients, and to staff. Stay home, it's ok to miss work, that's why we have sick leave.

Re: continue to monitor. I remember one of my instructors saying, in response to writing, "continue to monitor," at the end of a note, "well, I should hope so." Obviously, that instructore felt that that was unnecessary to say. Also, I agree that a nurses' note should not contain things like VS and other things that are already documented in your assessment/s, unless there was an issue. I tend to document things that are helpful to the docs and the oncoming nurse/s, and changes that are pertinent.
