by mama2 Dec 23, '12I need advice on how to handle a situation. My immediate supervisor- the practice manager at an ambulatory care clinic (who has NO medical experience whatsoever) has told me that she feels that I spend too much time charting/documenting. Honestly, I feel that I chart only the basics, and document only what needs to be documented. Most days, I have so much to do, I don't even get a chance to document the basics that I really should be documenting. If I stay even 1 minute past when my shift ends, she yells at me. I'm not sure what to say or how to say it. Any suggestions?

Dec 23, '12 by TotallyAwwwesomeTell her to back off...it's YOU and YOUR license that is on the line. You worked too hard to get it so don't let someone push you around. Maybe try to figure out how to manage your time a little bit better so you don't stay late.mama2 likes this. -
