nursing report sheet cardiac

Nurse Mo, I think your website is the best! I will be starting my 4th semester nursing thru an ADN program. I’m typically an A and B student, but I missed the mark by 2 points for 3rd semester and received a C. Hopefully 4th won’t totally bog me down! However, I usually do pretty good with clinical, but this semester we will be on our own, so looking forward to all the goodies you have provided. Thank you for unselfishly thinking of us when you have a career and family to think about.

Good luck with 4th semester…you’ll do great! This is when it all comes together…you’ll be surprised how much you know (and also surprised at how much there is still to learn). Stay focused on the patient and TAKE CARE of yourself and all will be well 🙂

Do you have anything related to a brain for a med -surg floor ? I love the flow of yours and all the details, I am just not an ICU nurse.

I’ll have to look Becca…I think I have a link to a tele one…that should work for M/S.

If you are still looking, check out the one I have created for med surg https://nurseologyblog.wordpress.com/2016/02/26/shift-at-a-glance-checklist/

Hope that helps!

Would you happen to have a “brain sheet” that is more geared toward the respiratory system? I’m a Respiratory Therapy/Care student. If not, could you point/lead me in the direction where I may find one?

Good question! I don’t have one and I honestly wouldn’t know how to go about making one! The best thing might be to ask the RTs at the facility where you do your clinical rotations. I know I’ve seen the RTs at my hospital use them, but I never took a close look. Sorry! And best of luck with RT school…such a cool job!

I love your ICU brain sheets? Do you happen to have one I could edit? If not, I understand! Thanks! 🙂

I don’t…the files are huge InDesign files. Thanks for loving them, though!

Hi , do you have any notes biliary and pancreas disorders ? Can you post some please ? Thanks.

Ina…I will look! Maybe I’ll create a case study…been wanting to do that for a long time!

Is their a way to print these? I would love to use these for my handoff 🙂

Hi, is there anyway you can make a labor and delivery one? Im a new l&d nurse and still trying to come up with a more organized way to receive and give report

Hi Celeste! I would have to get help from my L&D friends as I have NO IDEA what sorts of things you need on a brain sheet. If anyone wants to share their insight, I’d be happy to!

Love it. Doesnt quite work for ED. Reiterates the difference between ED and ICU brains to me though. WELL DONE!!

Oh yeah…ED IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT! I’d love to create a brain sheet for the ED, but what I was thinking was make it 4 to a page so you can essentially cut them out into small little “mini brains” to write down just the key info….then toss when that pt leaves. How many patients do you think you see in a day? I imagine it can be a lot!

This is one of the best peripheral brains I have seen. I recently transferred from ED where I was able to keep all that chaos bottled inside my head. The ICU is a completely different animal and I am afraid my poor brain will overload with trying to remember all the labs and vent settings, gtts, etc. Love this brain!

Do you have a link to open these on a word document? I like typing and it would be great to have this there!

Sorry…I don’t use Word 🙁 All my items are created using design programs, but it’s so easy to make your own! I highly encourage people to make their own brain sheets since they will work the way YOUR brain works 🙂

Hey I was wondering if you have a word document copy of this. I would really like to type up my report because my handwriting looks like I am having a seizure during report lol

I would love a copy of the run shift, I work the tele floor and haven’t found one that really suits my needs yet.

Hello! do you have a brain sheet or anything to keep me organized during my shift, I am a new nurse working in the NICU. Thank you!

I don’t have one specific to the NICU, but you could start with the one-patient sheet and then adjust it for your needs. I know there are specific NICU things that don’t apply to adults…let me ask some NICU nurses and see what they suggest 🙂

Nurse Mo, could you please make a “key” for your medsurg brain sheet or show an example of a completed sheet?

Hi Alison…that’s a great idea! In the meantime, please check out my latest podcast episode where I talk you through this sheet step-by-step! https://straightanursingstudent.com/episode108/

Do you have Icu brain for PM shift?

This is the only one I have…I used it for days and NOCs. Are you referring to the run sheet with the time slots on it? It’s possible I have one…send me an email 🙂

Nurse Mo! I’ve been a listener for 2 semesters now and I love your content. It’s detailed and to the point. I get to listen before my lectures so I have an idea of how the content will flow. It’s been helping me through each semester. I’m currently in my last semester doing A LOT of critical care content. My plan is to be somewhere in the Pediatrics, specifically Cardiac. Thanks for being my cheerleader and virtual supporter!

Hi Diana…thanks for the thoughtful feedback! So glad the podcast is helping you!

Hi Nurse Mo! I’m heading into a surgical rotation and would love to use the brain sheet particular to this rotation…when I go to the Etsy link it tells me that this item is no longer available :(. Could you point me in the correct direction for one? Love, love your podcasts!

Hi Monica – the closest one I have currently is the Telemetry Brain – I think you could use that one just fine! And, since many patients on a surgical unit are on telemetry monitoring, you’ll be covered 🙂 Good luck in your surgical rotation!

hello I am a nurse from a non English country, Is the Giving End-of-Shift Report: Episode 7 podcast transcript available?

Not a transcript, but this may help! https://straightanursingstudent.com/be-an-end-of-shift-report-rockstar/

Free Download: CVICU Report Sheet

When I was a bedside CVICU nurse, I prided myself on my personalized report sheet. I did tailor it to fit the unit where I worked as a nurse, but I cannot express how much it helped me get through my day and give sign out to the oncoming nurse. The following was my morning routine as a bedside nurse and included is a free download to my report sheet. Best of luck to you in your careers!

NOTE: This is done simultaneously with a thorough head to toes assessment. Steps for a head to toe assessment are not included in this post. The purpose of this is to include parts of a morning routine that are often missed ❤️

1) Breeze past both patient’s rooms and glance and the patients and monitors - make sure everything looks “okay” - if patients are restrained, I make sure the restraints are tied properly ✨

2) Take bedside report ✨

3) Quick check of orders, meds and last chest X-ray, trend pertinent labs ✨

4) Go into the the room of the most critical patient first ✨

5) Check drip concentrations, confirm weight programmed into the IV pump matches the patient, confirm infusion rates, and patient name on IV bags ✨

6) Check monitor alarm parameters ✨

7) Check IV access on patient (I.E. Where will I be able to push code drugs if necessary?) ✨

8) Check for ambu bag on wall, trach supplies, suction set up ✨

9) Check ET tube size, length, and vent settings, including peak pressure ✨

10) Check settings on any device and insertion sites: CRRT, IABP, LVAD, ECMO, PA cat etc.- level and zero all transducers, note waveforms)✨

11) Note feeding tube length and securement, check residuals and placement if warranted ✨

12) Note date on central line dressing and all dressings ✨

13) Complete urinary catheter care and make sure there are no dependent loops of kinks in tubing ✨

14) Make sure all chest tubes, cords, IV tubing, drains are operating properly (either hooked to suction or not, whatever is ordered, canisters aren’t full, tubing isn’t under patient, etc.) ✨

15) Note patients skin, particularly bottoms of heels and behind the ears. Prop heels on pillows, change draw sheet and chucks pad, note sacral region for breakdown, turn patient ✨

16) TALK to the patient -make sure their call light is in place and TV is on chosen channel - or I put on music for my vented patients ✨

17) Complete CAM-ICU delirium scale ✨

18) Throw away old supplies, Cavi wipe surfaces, move any chairs, tables, etc. out of the way that might be blocking a path to the patient or cluttering room ✨

19) Repeat with next patient ✨

Cardiac/Telemetry Nursing Brain Sheet

Happy Saturday! Today I am sharing the brain sheet I used back when I was a cardiac nurse working in Telemetry. There are thousands of ways to do this, this was just what worked best for me.

Link to TikTok videos :

@tidbitsfromemily Hi! Here is my nursing brain sheet I used as a cardiac nurse in telemetry. Like for a part 2! #nursetips #brainsheet #nurse #telemetry #rn #newgradrn ♬ original sound – tidbitsfromemily

@tidbitsfromemily Part 2 of my cardiac telemetry nursing brain sheet! If you have any questions leave them below(: #nursetips #brainsheet #rn #nurse #registerednurse ♬ original sound – tidbitsfromemily

I hope you can take something away from this and possibly incorporate it in your own brain sheet! Please remember protocols may vary from hospital to hospital, but this is just to give you a general idea how I made and used mine.

FREE Nursing Report Sheets & How to Make One

This post may contain affiliate links. If you use these links to buy something we may earn a commission. Read our full disclaimer here . Our opinions are not affected by affiliates and are our own.

Nursing report is an important part of a shift. Having a good nursing report sheet can help ease the transition for new nurses and even keep veteran nursing on track. The best part, these are all free nursing report sheets!

The nursing sheets provided, I designed throughout nursing school. They were developed into what they are today as I started working in a neurological ICU and surgical ICU. These are perfect critical care nursing report sheets and are perfect for anyone who needs pediatric, cardiac, med-surg, telemetry, or postpartum nursing report sheets .

What is a Nursing Report Sheet?

Nursing report sheets are used by nurses to obtain shift report. Shift report happens between nurses when they switch nurses for the shift. Shift report includes information about each patient. It is important to include vital potent information in report while being quick.

The report sheet should include the patient’s name, reason for admission, any co-morbidities and other pertinent information. Pertinent information will depend on what floor you work on, but typically includes the medications for the day, code status, nutrition status, labs and vital sign trends.

It can be nice to find free nursing report sheets, but it is important to remember, you should make it your own!

Why Do Nurses Use Report Sheets?

Most nurses will use nursing report sheets to write down information for each patient. It is difficult to recall everything so writing it down helps a lot. There are some great nursing clipboards that can help you organize your papers for the day.

As I mentioned before, nurses will write down information used for the day. However, some nurses might even plan out their day. I typically use my sheets to create a plan for medications and charting expectations for the shift. It is important to mark when you need to chart certain things and obviously pass medications.

Nursing Report Sheet ICU

This is my favorite custom critical care nursing report sheet. I made this report sheet when I was precepting in the neuro ICU. I learned a lot during my time there and really was able to create a custom report sheet. Creating something custom allowed me to perfect my nursing report skills and really helped me as a new nurse.

I wanted to allow everyone to customize these free nursing report sheets to adapt them to their own floor.

Nursing Report Sheet (Version 1)

Send download link to:

The front page consists on basic patient info, report from previous shift, lines, labs, neuro report, blood gases (if needed), etc.

The back page is meant to be separated into four quadrants (we preferred to fold it, but you could mark it with your pen). And we proceeded to use the top two quadrants for medications (including time and info) and the bottom two for the shift’s schedule (time and info) and extra info to give to the next shift report.

Telemetry Nursing Report Sheet

This is a tele nurse report sheet, but it is also great as a med-surg nursing report sheet. This telemetry nursing report sheet is a template you should customize to fit your needs.

In addition, this sample nursing report sheet is used as a template for nursing students or clinical groups. It is great to learn with because it lists all of the important portions of a nursing report in order.

Nursing Report Sheet (2nd Version)

Med-surg nursing report sheet (medical-surgical floors).

Here we have a few med-surg nursing brain sheets or report sheets. These are designed for nurses who have more than 1-2 patients.

With my time in the ICU, I learned to manage 2 patients fairly well. However, some med-surg nurses manage upwards of 7-8 patients per shift ( which I could never understand ), but that means that need to stay organized.

Any seasoned nurses know that organization is 99% of the job. But, for the new nurses, keeping yourself organized can be challenging. So, hopefully these nursing report sheets (nurse brain sheets) can help the med-surg nurses. But, even other nurses can customize them to their liking!

How to Make Your Own Nursing Report Sheet

Creating your own nursing report sheet is actually easier than it might sound. Typically using Microsoft Word allows you to cater to your own needs.

Start by downloading one of our free templates. Once you have one downloaded, you need to open them in Microsoft Word or another comparable word processing program. Once in, you can edit any of the boxes with text. Just highlight the text and change it!

For example, to change what lab values are their or perhaps which assessments, just highlight the text and type! Once you’re finished, just print it and you’re set!
