Great starter book.

Nursing students might benefit from many of these points. They tend to like to add their interpretation of assessment findings. I have seen a sudden increase in charting of "will continue to monitor". It always bothered me, now I know why! Thank you!

Muy practico el libro

I thought this book would give EXAMPLES on what/how to chart as a new grad nurse. It was a book that focused on legal and insight (which was taught in Nursing school) I need to know what to type when a person comes in that can't breath, so I don't get sued, fired, or audited. I don't recommend this book. It's not what I thought it would be

Short and to the point but not too much indepth

As a RN that has took some time off this has been a great refresher on documentation.

This book was extremely helpful and easy to read. The author gives perfect examples and scenerios to make it easy for any nurse to understand how they can improve their bedside charting.
