One of the nurses on my unit can be a bit overdramatic, so I've learned to take everything she says with a grain of salt. That being said, she once told me that several of the more seasoned nurses often look through everyone else's charting (assessment, notes, etc) to nitpick for mistakes and bring it up to management. I kind of brushed that comment off, because no one had ever said anything to me about my charting.
Until last night. It turned out to be a misunderstanding on the other nurse's fault, my charting was actually correct, but it kind of irked me that she looked for it anyway. I totally understand looking at other nurses' charting to see a timeline of events, but now I'm a little nervous about charting. Which is dumb because apparently these other nurses have always done this and I've never been approached about it by anyone, management or not, until last night - and I ended up being right anyway.
