How can I streamline my clinical charting notes to meet my professor's strict rubric for identifying patient priority needs without spending four hours after my shift?

I'm a second-semester nursing student and I'm honestly drowning in these mandatory clinical SOAP notes because my professor docks points if my observations aren't organized in a specific way. I've tried using standard highlighters and color-coding my assessments during the shift, but I still feel like I'm wasting way too much time rewriting everything at home. My clinical deadline is tomorrow morning and I really need a better system to capture these priority interventions while I'm still on the floor. Should I start using shorthand templates or maybe a digital voice recorder to document my thought process while I'm doing rounds?
