Dear RN,
Stop writing “patient stable.”
That phrase is too vague for nursing documentation. Chart the assessment findings that show the patient is stable,not just the conclusion.
Vague:
Patient stable.
Stronger documentation:
Patient is awake, alert, and oriented ×4. Vital signs: BP 128/74 mmHg, HR 78 bpm, RR 16/min, SpO₂ 97% on room air, temperature 36.8°C. Respirations even and unlabored, with no use of accessory muscles. Patient denies chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, or discomfort. No grimacing, guarding, diaphoresis, or restlessness observed. Call bell placed within reach on the patient’s right side. Patient demonstrated the ability to use the call bell and was instructed to call for assistance before getting out of bed.
Plan of care continues.
Remember: Don’t chart only your impression. Document what you see, hear, and measure,and what the patient reports.
Cheers 🥂
One year. No job. Nothing. 😭
I enrolled for a Master’s degree just to have something to say when people ask what I’m doing with my life.

I know someone on this app knows someone. Let’s make something happen.
Peter Okoye is the FIRST Nigerian celebrity whose clothing line is actually affordable.
Nigerians have cleared out the red cap he wore.
It’s already sold out on the website!
I wish more women knew this existed…
I had a cervical cerclage during my pregnancy after my doctor discovered that my cervix was opening too early. Before then, I had no idea a condition like this even existed.
Since then, I’ve realized that many women have never heard of cervical insufficiency, even though it can contribute to second-trimester pregnancy loss or very premature birth in some pregnancies.
One thing I also learned is that a routine abdominal (“belly”) scan may not always assess the cervix well. A transvaginal ultrasound is often the best way to accurately measure cervical length when there’s a concern.
I’m sharing this because awareness matters. If you’ve had recurrent miscarriages, a previous second-trimester loss, or a history of very premature birth, it’s worth discussing your cervix with your obstetrician. It may not apply to everyone, but for some women, it can make all the difference.
Disclaimer: This isn’t medical advice, just something I wish more women knew about.
Until you evolve, unlearn, relearn, and realize that women of this generation will not endure the bad treatments many of your mothers endured in the hands of your fathers, y’all will keep having failed marriages.
If you're born and raised in Lagos you might not realized how damaged of a person you are until you visit another state. Today, I rushed to enter an empty Keke in Ibadan that was still moving and the driver ask me if I'm okay💔

If you live in UK, US, Canada or Diaspora. Don't just send supplements to your parents without checking in with the Doctor and medical team seeing them.
Someone sent High Dose Vitamin C and Vit D supplements to the parents, Parent was taking 1g of Vitamin C 3 times in a Day and taking Vitamin D daily and as she wants.
Comes to the hospital with Abdominal pain.

PS- Excess Vitamin C and Abuse of Vitamin D can increase risk of kidney stones which can damage the kidneys.
