Admissions/corrections for other nurses...who is responsible

Thank goodness we have coders!!! Tough situation...is your boss approachable in a situation like this?

I would speak to the boss about this. Even if the boss does not intervene in some way, they should be made aware of the situation. This person is definitely lacking in the team player arena.

people so often mistake kindness for weakness,,,,i guess it wasnt what she "asked" you to do but the way she asked it, so much in the tone in which things are said. do the corrections, as it is part of doing an admission, then think twice before offering assistance,,what i have learned when asked to do something extra, i say, oh let me look at my schedule and i will get right back to you, gives you the time to "re-group" before answering,,,,
some people just are not team players!!! they are everywhere

Since it was an admission visit, I can see where she might want you to make the corrections. She hasn't seen the patient so she might not be able to answer the questions. She should have made the corrections when she did visits for you, though. If it's just the coding piece and calculating the frequency, then she should have no problem answering the questions. At my agency, we try to have the RNs do their own starts but sometimes it's impossible. So, when an RN does any visit, she's responsible for completing all components....coding...corrections...hha care plans..calendars..etc. Then she is suppose to give the RN assigned to the case a report and let her know of anything that is still pending so the bal doesn't get dropped. Any corrections go to the person who did the visit.

If I were you, the burning issue for me would be the fact that she did not do her own corrections when she did an admission for you. I think I would remind her of that situation and tell her that you're really overwhelmed with your own workload. Ask her if she could complete the rest of the paperwork for you since you did this for her. Surely, she will. I would talk to your supervisor if this approach did not work. In the end, your supervisor may still have you make the corrections. Consider it a lesson learned. I'm sure you're very frustrated because you feel like you were taken advantage of. Good luck!!

This boils down to character. You quickly learn about your co-workers' work ethic once you have been at an agency for a little while. You did all the right things and should be proud of your attitude, and her own actions will come back to bite her in the end.
