A border is what you put around the edges of a box sometimes in Microsoft Word. A boarder is a patient in one level of care waiting for a room in another, usually lower.

The patient is lying in bed... please don't write laying!

Be sure you understand the differences between due and do, threw and through. You should have learned these in high school, if not before. And if I ever see "prolly" in a chart again I'm going straight outside to bang my head on the sidewalk.

Thank you,
A Nurse

Oh, and one more: a bowl (not a bowel) is what you eat cereal from! Please!
