Hello!

Is it possible that you try typing on the 1st patient note and change over to writing in the next?


  #2

No, only if there is something wrong with the computer. Do you know anybody that typed the PN during the exma? My handwriting is awful and I'd like to type the PN but I don't know if there is enough space to type a bullets-type PN. Thanks.

Same here Claudia, my handwriting is sometimes illegible to myself! Especially during relatively tense moments (like CS exam!). I feel the space they offer should be enough coz they specifically say that only significant -ve and +ve points are to be mentioned. I guess by the first note that one types one will have a fair idea about the space offered. Also, I think I'll use as many abbrevations as I can. Hopefully if one the day of exam if my typing isn't too erratic maybe I'll get the job done faster by typing. And I hope the kepboards are good and responsive.....About the bullets type PN i wonder if the amount of space they offer is based on the number of words [in which case there isn't any prob] or by the amount of "vertical" length they offer [in which case a bullet-type PN will use up the space faster]..

Yes, you're right! I have the same concern becuase my style is bullet-type PN. How can we figure this out?
