I used to use a grid, with hours across the top, and room numbers down the side.

I'd put last name & dx below the room number. Under each hour, I put in meds due for that hour, by route so I'd know how long it would take me, when VS were due, dressings or procedures, anything I would need to do for that person. If there wasn't a specific time something needed to be done, I'd assign myself a time to do it, so that I could balance getting things done. (ie, room 8 dressing change between 9 & 10, room 9's after 10 because his doc made rounds late). Then I would cross off things as I did them. If I didn't have time to chart, it would also give me space to make a quick note to myself (type of drainage etc.), and a time reference for entering it in the chart later.

I made them on the computer and kept them in my locker, with "VS" typed in at the standard times, or B/B for bed and bath, etc., then write in specifics after report. After a while, other people were borrowing my template and making copies for themselves. Now I work in the ER, and such planning isn't possible anymore!

I do the same thing as JBUDD and I would feel lost without my sheet. I feel so much more organized and normally don't forget to do things that need to be done.

hi, miscue8!

i've had this posted in a number of threads on allnurses for over a year now. hope you will be able to use it:

[attach]5032[/attach] my report sheet (brains)

there are links to some other report sheets on this older thread on allnurses: https://allnurses.com/forums/1683581-post5.html

welcome to allnurses! :welcome:

In the ICU I have a paper for each patient (its a half sheet) at the top middle of the paper I place a sticker that has the patients name, MR #, patient #, DOB, Sex, etc. On the top of the sticker I write allergies and code status in red ink. on the top left I write their admitting diagnosis and history. Top right I write their codeword, weight, and labs/procedures that need done. On the left side of my paper I organize it into assessment categories (neuro, heart, respiratory, edema, pulses, dressings/drains, ivs) then on the right side I write out labs I need to know and on the bottom left I write out. On the back of my paper I write what meds are due when I&Os, and any other little notes.
