Hi Cat,
We use computer charting in the OR, and it takes some getting used to, however with the system we use there are free script
boxes that can be used to describe things that are not in the
check boxes. Most RNs don't use these as they can be time consuming but I really like them, as they allow you to personalize your chart, in case you have to review it some time later. I list things in there such as psychosocial comments, patient assessment notes, or anything out of the ordinary.
Hope this helps.
