This has become an ugly mess. The other nurse she told to do this, did, and put a big sign up that said "all discrepencies have been resolved." I had just not done the audits and when DON...

She told us to just make up a weight, if a weight was missing. "Just look at what the patient weighed the day before and the day after and put something in, you know, common sense." I can't. I...

My DON is having me audit charts prior to joint commission coming. She told me when she finds information is missing or incorrect she "just fixes it". These are closed charts and she told me if it...

This is a deeply personal decision your friend will have to make. It will strain her marriage I'm sure and it will be hard on the kids, but it can be done. I have an 8 year old daughter. I...
