  @ Adrian,  ya, I remember doing that charting up until I left the wards in 1975. About the only improvements we had since I came in was in '75 we were using digital thermometers and the charts were in plastic holders not the aluminum ones. The funniest thing was one night when I asked LTjg Jane Brastead how to spell "pusy" and I still don't know. Hey I was just a dumb-a$$ kid from West Virginia, what did I know about medicine? hahaha

  I remember those days in the late 60's and early 70's Fresh out of Hospital Corps School and stationed at Great Lakes Naval Hospital. Busy place to say the least.In 1990 I was invited to give a speech at the Hospital Corps School graduation. What a thrill I will never forget it.

  Back in the late 1960's, at the end of our shift on the wards, we had to make closing entries, (hand written),  into every patient's chart, on the Nursing Notes page.  Any treatment, change in condition or behavior, etc..  Well that was many years ago for me but I do remember those metal charts hanging in their metal carts.  And how the duty nurse and us corpsmen would gather in the nurses station to do that.  Also to give a report to the oncoming shift on the course of events that had transpired during our shift.  I also seem to recall a TPR page where we connected the dots sort of.  
  I wonder if some of you remember that, and is all the above done on computers now?

  It may need a shot in the arm or some resuscitation! The number of commands has grown so much it's difficult to keep multiples areas of attention!

  Has this forum gone belly up?  Or am I the only one who doesn't know how to refresh it?
