Like you I was just a new nurse trying to find my way in the world of bedside nursing. I had just started my new job and was terrified to find out everything that the nurse was expected to keep track of. Doctors were calling to find out if the CT scan they ordered yesterday was done, the new Intern was asking about the lab results, and not to mention keeping track of the simple things like what’s the patient’s diet! And just think, all of this has to be in your head, for each patient. So, after I stopped crying, I came up with an idea I thought would help to keep me organized. And then and there, the RNReport Card was born. So now we’ve decided to put it out there for all the other nurses who could use some help getting organized and keeping focused on what’s important for your patient care.
