You can be an excellent nurse in the clinical setting and still fail to prove that you are an excellent nurse if your documentation is inadequate. Having worked in a variety of inpatient and outpatient settings, I understand the obstacles nurses face. There’s just not time, nor do nurses have the mental energy to meticulously document every little thing on top of the rest of their to-do list. That’s part of why I became passionate about documentation education. It doesn’t have to be an overwhelming, endless challenge to chart exhaustively in hopes that you enter enough data into the chart to defend yourself one day. Rather, leveraging the most critical data, knowing how to format notes and exactly what to say, and when to spend five minutes dumping information into the chart can be learned skills that make documentation faster, easier, and less stressful, while doing a better job of defending your actions.

Perfecting my own documentation and working to find concrete guidelines to share with my fellow nurses has become my passion. As I gained more knowledge and researched the dusty, forgotten corners of the internet for obscure evidence-based practice and case studies, becoming a subject matter expert on nursing documentation lit a spark because sharing this information helps empower nurses to understand exactly what should appear in their patient charts, where, when it should entered, and how it should be phrased.
