Nursing Disorder Template Printable

Nursing disorder template for study notes

This nursing disorder template sorts what you learn about a condition into ten labelled sections, from pathology and risk factors through to medications and patient education. There's even a section for a mnemonic.

Student nurses use it to build a set of disorder notes for exams and clinical placements.

Sections on the nursing disorder template

• Disorder
• Nursing management
• Lab and diagnostics
• Pathology
• Risk factors
• Signs and symptoms
• Patient education
• Medications
• Mnemonic
• Notes

How to fill in each section

Write the disorder's name first, then fill in pathology, risk factors and signs and symptoms while the lecture or textbook chapter is still fresh. Lab and diagnostics comes next.

Nursing management, medications and patient education share the template, so you can review the care, drugs and teaching for that disorder before an exam or clinical shift. Use the mnemonic section for the memory trick that sticks, and the notes section for anything your instructor adds in class.

Sizes & colors

Files come as PDFs in a zipped folder. Both A4 & US Letter versions are included, each in eight colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, pink, purple and grey. Try giving each body system its own color, such as red for cardiac disorders and blue for respiratory.
