  10. Nurses Notes: Guidelines On What Not To Chart

    I work with a nurse that likes to write things such as, "Pt says that Nelly RN told her last night to take 15mg of morphine, and this SN informed them that it's actually for 5mg". "They complained that Nelly RN was rude, and they were not happy with ...
