Our unit does not have a "set" form for report. We do use SBAR for transfer pts

The form most of us use is attached. One of our RN's created this form and continues to change it as needed. She is our "form" goddess :)

The space on the right below 'solution' is where I write labs/tests/xray orders for morning.

We double-side print so we can fit eight pts on each single sheet.
