Chart to Save Your RN License: A Comprehensive Guide to What, When, and How to Document for Nurses

This book gives a lot of good advice. As a new nurse, I’ve looked through this book a couple of times as I’ve gotten used to charting, because I pick up on something different every time I look through it. It does give a few examples, too, but if you are looking for a lot of actual charting examples, this is not the book. Although it does have a few, its main goal is advice.

Chart to Save Your RN License” is an essential guide for any registered nurse seeking to protect their professional license through proper documentation. The book offers clear, practical advice on what to document, when to document it, and how to do so in a legally sound and patient-focused way. It breaks down complex legal and professional expectations into easy-to-follow steps, making it ideal for both new and experienced nurses. What sets this guide apart is its real-world approach—using relatable scenarios and examples to highlight common documentation pitfalls and how to avoid them. It not only enhances charting accuracy but also builds confidence in handling high-risk situations that could potentially lead to legal or disciplinary action. Whether you’re working in a hospital, clinic, or long-term care setting, this book is a must-have resource to help safeguard your career and ensure you’re meeting the highest standards of nursing documentation.

Nursing students might benefit from many of these points. They tend to like to add their interpretation of assessment findings. I have seen a sudden increase in charting of "will continue to monitor". It always bothered me, now I know why! Thank you!

Really great as a new grad RN. Helps a lot with charting

Short and to the point but not too much indepth

Great starter book.

I thought this book would give EXAMPLES on what/how to chart as a new grad nurse. It was a book that focused on legal and insight (which was taught in Nursing school) I need to know what to type when a person comes in that can't breath, so I don't get sued, fired, or audited. I don't recommend this book. It's not what I thought it would be
