The summary is written last and read first, which is why it is usually the weakest part of the document. Build one here, six sentences at a time — every slot offers a sentence that announces facts exist, a sentence that gestures at them, and a sentence that carries one. Then hand it to a chief nursing officer who has read nothing else and ask the only question that matters: what would you do on Monday?
Six slots
Left to your own devices at midnight, you will write the top option every time. Notice what each choice does to the CNO’s checklist on the right — and to your word count, which matters less than you think.
