Jot Sheets?

Hello everyone.
This is my first post here. I have been reading messages for the past hour.
Im finding a lot of information here.
Im in the hospital setting at this time on a CCU floor, and Im looking for a good jot sheet.
The one provided by the hospital really isnt helpful.
Ive tried making my own and its frustrating.
Does anyone have a good jot sheet you wouldnt mind sharing?
You can send it to me privately if you would like, plantinga3@yahoo.com, or post it here. Maybe some others are looking for jot sheet ideas?
Thank you.
Christina in TX

Re: Jot Sheets?

by jot sheet do you mean something to take notes on during report? aka your brains (as people I work with call them) Good depends on what you need lots of times I don't take notes. The one we have on our unit is really simple it's basically a paper with lines a small space 1st column for room number, next name where I write age and the initial for MD, then diet, v/s, place for notes...labs, IV, I&O then you can fold it over and write whatever on the back.. I figure I can look up most stuff. No reason to write IV fluids left to count if it's on a pump it will alarm and on gravity I'm doing assessments and will see it and they better not leave 100 to count on an IV running at 150
Our computer will also print out a worksheet with names and outstanding tests. If that's not what you want for jot sheet I don't know what a jot sheet is sorry.

Re: Jot Sheets?

Christina,
I am so sorry to just be answering this now , however, I am fairly new here and there are so many awesome subjects to post that I just now came across this one. I think I may be able to help you. I am an agency nurse and without the various jot sheets in diff. settings I would be lost! Do you still work in a unit or on another assignment. Tell me what you need one for and I will try to send you a few that I have on file. You may or may not like them but I am willing to try to help. Without a jot sheet I would be LOST lol :O)

Julee:luck:

Re: Jot Sheets?

Every place uses different jot sheets, but what I found to work for me is a plain old piece of paper. Depending on how many patients I have, I fold and crease it to make "boxes", so on one sheet I can have six boxes or eight boxes, and in each box I write the patients name, code status, Drs. name, allergies, Dx.,then I write my basic assessment stuff down that I need to remember, using each system. I also put in blood sugar times, and med times and any dressings or labs that need done so I don't forget. This paper is my brain basically, and I can whip it out later when I'm ready to sit down and chart. It can be folded up into a little square and placed in my shirt pocket. No clip boards to carry around, and it never changes wherever I work. You have to find what works for you, but I have used this for eight years, and it hasn't steered me wrong yet.
