Ever see "FULL LET" for code status?

[shygoofyone]

We had a new Doc start yesterday in the ER and for a patient with a uniform DNR order, he wrote "Code Status: Full LET" None of us, including nurses with over 30 years experience, have ever seen this term. We asked him what it meant, and he said "that's what you write..." then sat down to try to find the damned meaning on Google! I'm terrified that he's going to be working alone on 24 hour shifts....talk about handholding! Aside from that...has ANYONE ever seen this?

Been in nursing for almost 12 years...never heard of that term, before.

As someone mentioned before, he may need to be reminded of the importance of using hospital approved abbreviations, so everyone (from ER to the floors/units) are on the same page. On a side note, this is a great example as to why I fully embrace electronic charting....can't get away with that kind of stuff.
