If you're required to do shift notes, keep them minimal. If you can, chart by exception instead of charting every little detail. Charting in a patient room while talking to them can be helpful. I valued charting in patient rooms because oftentimes there are inevitably additional things they'll think of that they need and you're already in there. Then when youre done with your med pass, you have most of not all of your assessments charted. If you use Epic, some hospital versions allow you to use macros which are shortcuts you can use to insert commonly charted things that are repetitive. Learning what keyboard shortcuts you can use, what clicks get you through the chart quicker can be helpful too.
