I'm totally confused by your issue. If the problem is being late for 3 days in a row,  then you need to put yourself in the position of the nurses getting off after 12 hours of work. That's very selfish. If it's being late & documenting you were on time then that's essentially stealing. Either way, it's not a good situation to be.

Yeah dude, it doesn't sound like the reprimand was from being late!  Nurse Beth, you should change the headline to "Reprimanded for falsifying documentation"

The way I read it is that it's possible the reprimand is not primarily (or maybe at all) about being late but about

false documentation.

Interesting @JKL33. That makes sense.

Yikes. That is a big issue.

Will a reprimand on RN keep you from ever becoming a FNP?
