Overview

I have dealt with charts every single working day for the past fifteen years. During that time, it always seemed like there was one nurse who everyone would seek out if they were stuck. Its the nurse who could decipher any scribble, figure out why two different nephrologists were consulted on different days, or find a code status in the middle of the ER progress notes. This pamphlet will not transform you into that nurse, but it will plant the idea that chart reading is a learnable skill, that can be practiced and mastered.

Author Information

Malcolm Rosenberg, RN began his career as a nurse and nurse educator after receiving his Associates Degree from Broward Community College in 1989. He has worked in many medical and surgical areas including orthopedic, telemetry, oncology, as well as the ICU, recovery and emergency rooms. Prior to becoming a nurse, Malcolm was trained as a mechanical engineer and worked for 10 years in aircraft design and manufacturing. In that setting he began to appreciate the value of using simple diagrams and cartoons to learn and communicate complex dynamic processes. That learning was put to use when Malcolm was asked to teach continuing education courses for hospital nurses. He decided to create these courses primarily through the use of simple sketches and a light-hearted approach to learning. Since he wanted his students to understand the content without being overly concerned with note taking, he put together handouts for the students of exactly what was on the overhead projector. Those packages then became these books. Malcolm Rosenberg lives in Florida with Sandy, his adoring wife, Sandy's mom, Flo, their son, Alex, two dogs and three cats. His older son Craig lives in Georgia with his wife Tara. Please feel free to contact Malcolm via email: malcolmrosenberg1@gmail.com or by phone: 954-802-7539.
