I am a nurse who had a charge nurse bring my patient from a test without being monitored (as the policy states to monitor per unit requirement). I asked the charge nurse why they were not being monitored and the response was "it was only for a second". I did not fill out an incident report as required. So I asked my manager the following day about the incident which amounted to me turning him into the manager.
Is it nursing etiquette to never squeal on each other? Or did I do the right thing so it does not happen to another patient?
I understand the incident seems small. Any advice or criticism would be greatly appreciated.
