๐Ÿ–Š๏ธ๐Ÿ“˜๐Ÿ“š How to Create an Outline for an Incident Report in 5 minutes for CELBAN Writing (2G) ๐Ÿ’ 

Update 2025

6โ€“9 minutes

Hi Kim,

I have to say lesson 1-4 are the preparation of brain for the easy flow of ideas. That make [CELBANPrep Writing] lessons 5-10 more easier and fast. We have only a short amount of time to finish the incident report. Inorder to finish the incident report within the scheduled time, the ideas should come fast. So lesson 1-4 are very important!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you

N


Dear N,

Thank you for your exclamation-filled truth. I can feel the energy in your words: how Lesson 1 to 4 softened and stretched the mind enough to allow something new to flow. In your sentence, I see not just language, but liberation. You are a nurse reclaiming rhythm. A student becoming a writer.

Let us now slow the moment down, and walk together so this seemingly simple observation becomes a sacred reflection on readiness, rhythm, and the art of writing under pressure.

๐Ÿœ„ Return to Self

โ€œLessons 1โ€“4 are the preparation of brain for the easy flow of ideas.โ€

Yes. Preparation is more than planning. It is recalibration. It is the slow unwinding of tension in the nervous system that allows the mind to move with breath, not against it. These early lessons arenโ€™t just academic warm-ups. They are invitations back into rhythm: returning your attention from fear to familiarity.

You didnโ€™t just learn something in Lessons 1 to 4.
You returned to something.
The part of you that already knew how to pay attention.
How to sequence.
How to observe and speak with care.

You remembered the writer within the nurse.

๐Ÿœ Fog to Clarity

โ€œWe have only a short amount of timeโ€ฆ the ideas should come fast.โ€

There is real pressure in the CELBAN writing task. The clock does not wait. And when the fog of uncertainty sets in, time feels like a threat. But the antidote to panic is preparation… not just memorization, but patterning. Muscle memory.

Youโ€™ve trained your brain to see faster.
Youโ€™ve created inner templates.
So that when a scenario appears (a man by the elevator with an IV pole) your mind doesnโ€™t freeze. It flows.

Clarity is not magic. It is repetition, internalized.
And you are cultivating it with every timed practice.

๐Ÿœƒ Rooted in Enoughness

โ€œThat make lessons 5โ€“10 more easier and fast.โ€

Even in the speed, you are finding ease.
Because the roots are deep.

You arenโ€™t rushing. You are arriving.
Not grasping, but gathering.

This is what enoughness feels like:
Not when you finish the report perfectly,
but when the fear of starting doesnโ€™t block you anymore.
When your ideas show up like familiar tools in your hands.

Youโ€™ve built readiness from the ground up.
Now your writing stands tall.

๐Ÿœ‚ Rekindling the Inner Fire

โ€œIn order to finish the incident report within the scheduled timeโ€ฆโ€

This is a fire of intention.
Itโ€™s not a frantic flame; itโ€™s a focused one.

You write not just because you must,
but because you want to.
Because you care.

You care that your words are clear.
That your reports are accurate.
That your documentation helps someone else provide better care.

That kind of fire is sacred.
It doesnโ€™t burn you; it fuels you.
And every report you write is an offering lit from that flame.

๐Ÿœ€ Standing at Zenith

โ€œSo lesson 1-4 are very important!!!!!!!!!!!!!โ€

Yes.
Not just important… but foundational.
These lessons are not just academic tools.
They are spiritual scaffolding.

They hold you while you grow.
They lift you into new capacities.
They support the summit you are climbing toward:
A life of practice. A career of service.
A voice that knows how to speak clearly even when time is short.

Dear N,
You are not just a student of writing.
You are becoming a steward of language in the medical field.

And this moment?
It may look small from the outside,
but it is centre in motion.

Youโ€™re not just finishing a report.
Youโ€™re becoming the one who can.

With deep respect,
~ Kim

It is your turn to write an Incident Report!

Ready to elevate your incident reporting skills? Grab your tools (a computer, a piece of paper, and a pen) because we’re diving into a brainstorming challenge. Set that timer and let’s unleash our creativity to compile a comprehensive list of details for an incident report. Here’s your writing prompt:


Incident Description: 65-year-old male patient found on the floor by the elevator with an IV pole.

Your Mission:

  • Set a timer. Challenge yourself!
  • Brainstorm or mind map every detail imaginable for the incident report.
  • Capture the intricacies, the specifics, the nuances. Leave no stone unturned!

Why This Matters: Incident reports demand precision and thoroughness. By mastering this skill, you enhance patient care, contribute to a safer healthcare environment, and demonstrate your professionalism.

  • Imagine the sense of accomplishment as you compile a detailed, well-rounded incident report. Your attention to detail is not just a formality; it’s a commitment to excellence in patient care.
  • Consider the significance of your role in maintaining the highest standards of healthcare. Your dedication to thorough incident reporting aligns with the core values of patient safety and quality care.
  • Visualize the positive impact of your detailed incident reportโ€”an organized, clear, and comprehensive document that serves as a guide for future actions and improvements.

Your brainstorming isn’t just an exercise; it’s a proactive step towards becoming a meticulous incident reporter. It’s about translating ideas into action for the betterment of patient outcomes. Because, incident reports are not just paperwork; they are tools for learning, improvement, and, most importantly, ensuring the well-being of our patients.

Your commitment to brainstorming comprehensive details reflects your dedication to patient safety, creating a ripple effect that extends beyond the incident itself.

So, challenge yourself, embrace the timer, and let your creativity flow. When you return, share your insights and let’s celebrate the collective effort to master the art of incident reporting.

Happy brainstorming!

      Dear Sim,

      Thanks for your question. All of the samples I have for Incident Reports are within CELBANPrep Writing Level Two. They are part of a systematic program created to identify your weaknesses and turn them into strengths so that you get an acceptable score on CELBAN Writing. This can take two months, if you have a 7 in IELTS, or more if you have a lower score.

      Does this help?

      Kim
