Accused of falsifying charting

[Dee1959]

I was accused in a meeting yesterday of falsifying charting. I work in long term care and was recently assigned wound care.  The floor nurses were charting wound care was being done by me at first then were told to stop and let me do the charting. We use PCC. It took them a time or two to remember not to click the wound care buttons but they did.  How is this falsifying documentation on my part?

Oh there is... we each take a week at a time and rotate... I have never even received a call from a weekend staff member during my call...I just worked an overnight shift for the RN Supr because she told me she had to work a day shift that Saturday... and she didn't... I have 12 years at this facility, the longest of anyone here... I've been through 3 buyouts in the last 2 years and had high hopes for good things... I feel like there's a target on my back

There likely is. A new ownership is going to first want to cut costs and there are WAY too many management staff unless this is a huge facility. Then they are likely going to want to put their own people in management positions after they figure out which positions to cut. When looking at staff reductions having more seniority will likely not be in your favor as you would be more expensive to keep both with salary and benefits than a newer employee. Unless you are really invested in this place and want to try to keep your job I'd start looking elsewhere.  Sooner rather than later. For some reason, it's easier to find a job when you already have a job
