Types of Nurses Charting

[@thesunnyedge]

“Will continue to monitor” is the most priceless phrase you will ever chart. 😆🤣

My personal favorite

[@deendrew36]

I am an RT, but I would like to add, “MD aware. No new orders received.” This means “I told the doctor that XYZ should be done, and he/she doesn’t want. Just covering my ass.”

[@marieleelee]

[@richardleston5237]

But then when you ask "what do you think we should do?" universally met with silence. Don't just stand there, do something... Sometimes the best move is to continue to monitor...

[@deendrew36]

@@richardleston5237 you are right, but sometimes there IS a clear path. But the residents are chicken to make the call, or they are unfamiliar with what you want to do, so they don’t want. Not a good enough reason to do nothing, in my book.

[@havenzhai5187]

14 years of nursing here. More words mean more ammunition for the lawyers. Keep charting to a bare minimum. If there are check boxes, use those and don’t double chart. Focus on giving excellent care and your patient’s are less likely to sue you. Paperwork and bureaucracy steal millions of nursing hours.

[@sophiawatkins3190]

Also our night shift charge RN

[@meme-sb7vr]

I recently retired after 30+ years as an RN in a very busy neuro PCU and I am so glad to finally be done with charting!!! Charting is only done to CYA! My advice: keep it minimally simple but complete. The more you chart the easier it is for lawyers to pick it apart. Also, avoid double charting as this opens up a possibility of inconsistencies in your documentation. Use check offs and flow sheets when possible only elaborating if necessary. When a patient's condition changes always document the exact time and your verbatim interaction with the pcp. Never wait until the end of your shift to try and catch up on your charting, always set small goals like open your charts before med pass, update before lunch, etc waiting until the end of the shift just makes it more difficult, it takes longer as you are physically and mentally exhausted and trying to accurately remember everything that happened for 4+ patients over a 12 hour period is close to impossible and you will most definitely be at least an hour late.

[@silhouettes55]

The most common one after "will continue to monitor" is "bed in lowest position, call light in place" lol

[@thesunnyedge]

Side rails up x 2

[@lant5134]

There's a nurse in our hospital that always leaves like four hours after her shift ends charting. She even helps with patients cuz it takes her so long.

[@sheenawinfrey3133]

Yep, and then the manager breathes down our necks about getting out late a few minutes because they are over budget. I always think to myself go after the habitual ones to get their act together not the ones doing their jobs in a timely fashion 🙃 If im a little late getting out it's for a legitimate reason (i.e. we had a code, the charge nurse decided I needed to give report on 5-6 patients to 5-6 different nurses and at least one of those dayshift nurses showed up late, we got 12 admits, etc)

Still charting at shift change, that's me every time

[@sunpay1]

I was told to chart "will continue with nursing plan of care" instead of will continue to monitor because if pulled in court that can used that against you saying " well you went home and weren't there to continue to monitor." Maybe this if fine, it just scared me when another RN told me this, so I've been doing charting it this way since.

[@leopoldfreiherrvonbernewit4747]

From what I saw on my clinical rotations during paramedic training, I am SO glad that I don't have to chart like a nurse. I seriously never figured out how you were supposed to fully chart AND care for your patients, and truth be told neither could most nurses. If they are honest they will tell you that you either need to rush patient care (and lower your standard you might have had coming out of school) or you need to rush charting and accept the occasional reprimand of your superior. The only way to not do both is constant, unpaid overtime. And let's face it: Nurses are not paid enough to do regular overtime without pay.

[@sdn14]

"The ER system doesn't communicate to the inpatient charting system." Truth. Now I'm curious what charting system his hospital uses.
