My first Post! Question re: MAR documentation

Hi everyone:

I am a nursing student and will be taking the NCLEX-LN on 6/28. Hopefully I'll be finishing school and taking the NCLEX-RN in January.

But I currently work (part-time) as a 'Medical Technician' in an Assisted Living Facility. This is not a licensed position, I merely had to take an 8 hr. course and pass a simple 10 question test (both done through the facility itself). I've been working there 8 months.

I took the month of April off from work because of school. When I came back on May 10th, I noticed that some of the other techs were now filling in a column on the back of the MAR that we had never used before. I asked one of the other techs about it and she said that, when giving a medicine PRN, we were now supposed to check on them within two hours to see if it had been effective.

Fine, no problem. I'd been taught to do that in school and had been doing it anyway, albeit unofficially. So I started documenting it.

On May 17th, I noticed that some techs were also putting down the time they checked the patient (even though there's not a column for that information). I started doing it too.

In the beginning of June, the administration had a meeting and told us we (the techs) all had to go back and add in the time we checked from the first of the month through the 17th.

I have a problem with this. It just seems wrong to me. None of the other techs have a problem with it, I seem to be the only one resisting.

Am I wrong? Should I just go ahead and do as they request?
