What's inside?
What's inside?
Chart to Protect is a 138-page paperback written by one of America’s leading legal nurse consultants. It shows you exactly what attorneys hunt for in a nurse’s chart, and the wording that shuts every one of those openings down. You’ll get a simple five-point check that makes every note defensible before you sign, plus how audit trails, late entries and depositions really work. Real court cases show where the chart decided everything, and the back of the book holds a terminology guide and a head-to-toe assessment reference.
Will this mean more charting?
Will this mean more charting?
No. Most nurses over-chart the wrong things and still leave gaps an attorney can use. You’ll learn exactly which facts protect you and which lines to drop - so your notes get shorter, faster, and stronger at the same time.
Write notes that defend you years after the shift
Written by one of America’s leading legal nurse consultants, ‘Chart to Protect’ reveals exactly what attorneys hunt for in your chart - and how to leave them nothing to find.
You learn to close every gap as you write - so you always know what to put down, every note proves your clinical judgment, and your license stays untouchable.
from first-year grads to 20-year nurses
Finally stop wondering if you charted enough
You know that feeling on the drive home, when a note from 4am suddenly won’t leave your head?
You wonder if you wrote enough, if “patient refused” really covered it, and how it would read if anyone ever pulled the chart.
It’s not that you’re careless - it’s that nobody showed you what a strong note includes. ‘Chart to Protect’ shows you exactly that, so you sign off certain every note will hold up, and never take a shift home with you again.

Held up when it mattered most.
Two years after a rough night shift I got pulled into a deposition over a patient I barely remembered. I’d read this book six months before and changed how I chart. My notes answered EVERY question they asked. Honestly don’t know where I’d be without it.
-
Finally know what to write!
I’m 4 months off orientation on a med-surg floor and charting was the thing keeping me up at night. Now I actually know what belongs in a note and what doesn’t. My preceptor asked me where I learned to chart like THAT.
-
18 years and I was doing it wrong.
Eighteen years in the ICU and I thought my charting was solid. Turns out half my notes said nothing an attorney couldn’t twist. Fixed it in a week. Every nurse on my unit NEEDS this.
-
My notes got SHORTER!
Bought it expecting it to make me chart more. The opposite happened. My notes are tighter, I’m out on time, and I’m not second guessing anything I signed. Best money I’ve spent on this job.
-
Got it for my daughter’s first job.
My daughter just started in labor & delivery and she’s nervous about everything. Got her this and she read it in two nights. She told me it’s the first time she’s felt like somebody has HER back, not just the hospital’s.
-
Bought one for every new hire!
I’m a charge nurse and I’ve watched good nurses get hung out to dry over one vague line. Bought this for every new grad on our unit. The difference in their notes was OBVIOUS within a month.
