Daytona Beach College (formerly Daytona Beach Community College) nursing program has a great method for taking report. 


They use a giant stick man with a rectangle for a torso. 


The head is where you record neuro info


Split the torso into 1/2 top & bottom & each 1/2 then diagonally  - resp/cardio on the top 1/2 & GI/GU on the bottom 1/2


Skin, labs, etc. have places all around the stick figure. 


You can mark where lines are, etc.


I've been a nurse for years, but when my student hubby brought this home I modified it & scooped it up!


Now lots of people at work use it to take report daily (we do it on 1/2 sheet of paper, then you can get 4 patients - 2 front & 2 back per sheet)

Please don't pay any attention to my misspelled words or typos. Sorry I'll try harder next time.

always remember head to toe.   it doesn't matter what you use just from head to toe.
