Re: never happened before, wonder how much trouble I am in?
If it were my facility and one of my new LPNs, I would simply ask to see your copy and verify that the 3 was not written in well enough to have made the transfer to yours, and then let you know that I understood how it happened, and that this scenario is why the employees must check their schedules against the master copy. Then I would have smiles, let you know that since you knew that for next time, it should no longer be an issue. I would not write you up for this time. I doubt you are in very much trouble. Let your DON know sincerely that you are so sorry to have inconvenienced her and that you really enjoy working there and hope that this incident won't jeopardize your position. She should understand! And if she wants to ream you out about it, then that is probably not who you want to work with anyway and I would start jobhunting.
