32yr ER Nursing, get report from triage few sentences. The rest as you assess the patient and start explaining what you are going to do to get to why they are there if they can understand you. I always felt I was a detective collecting the data which would produce the answer, when MD reveiwed it. The best part was when patient Thanked me because he/she was feeling better. The information, the IV placement, blood collecting, especially blood glucose, EKG, observing the patient move or speak, smell. Would give me information. The recording of initial patient arrival if vital for the rest of the team to get the picture as time passes. I love my work. Now I am in a nursing home trying to teach nurses how to give report. It is very different, yet the same. No IV, bloods, EKG to do. Nursing is" LOVE" for what you do and the difference you make. The report has to be tailored to a new group of patients, I am working how to help nurses accept and learn this.

This seems to be a good system. I will implement it the next time I am on duty and see how it goes. Documentation for home care can be really extensive, this may help to get in all info in less time.

I'm trying to find a recycling center in New York (I live in Brooklyn). In my school, we are collecting plastic bottles and aluminum cans to take them to a recycling center as a fundraiser. Apparently my teacher and I searched the web and we can't find any recycling centers in the boroughs (looking for ones that give you 5 cents per item or any that give u money for a certain amount of recycled items). Does anyone know of any recycling centers where we can get money (no prizes) for our cans and bottles? It will greatly appreciated.

Imparting all that information will take how long? Let's be conservative and say 4 minutes per patient. Multiple that by a conservative 5 patients and you've got 20 minutes. While it all looks nice on paper, just like nursing education, the theory is unlikely to match the reality.
