An L&D brain sheet for two patients at once.
Labor progress, contraction and fetal-monitoring notes, meds and drips, and a mother-and-newborn handoff view.
Free: a printable brain sheet (PDF) (enter your email and it downloads) or the brain sheet builder (no signup).
- Two patients in one room — mom and baby — each with their own clock.
- Labor progress, cervical checks, and interventions that stack up fast.
- Pitocin and magnesium titration you have to hand off precisely.
What RN PocketPal does
- Labor progress notes: dilation, station, and intervention timeline.
- Fetal monitoring free-text notes (category, baseline, decelerations) as a personal organizer.
- Drip rows for oxytocin and magnesium with titration history.
- Newborn page: time of birth, Apgar notes, weight, feeding.
- Mother-baby handoff view.

What belongs on an L&D brain sheet
- Gravida and para, gestational age, and GBS status
- Cervical exam trend with times, not just the last one
- Fetal heart rate category and any change
- Contraction pattern and Pitocin rate
- Epidural time and level, and last bolus
- Birth preferences worth honouring when things stay routine

Frequently asked questions
- Does this interpret the fetal tracing?
- No. RN PocketPal does not read, categorize, or alarm on fetal monitoring. Your monitor and the clinical team do that; the brain sheet just holds your own notes.
- Can I track both mom and baby?
- Yes. The newborn gets its own linked page so post-delivery you're organizing two patients cleanly.
- How is titration handled?
- Oxytocin and magnesium rows keep a timestamped titration history so the next nurse inherits exactly where you left off.
- Where does patient data live?
- On your iPhone in encrypted local storage — the EHR remains the record of truth.
