Documentation question, need opinions on this one

Published

Have you ever had a nurse as a patient and she documented on her own record and wrote her own orders? I am interested in everyones thoughts on this subject. Is it legal? Ethical? Professional? Right? Wrong? Any documentation to back up your thoughts/opinion? Thanks!!

I believe the risk manager needs to be notified.
Depending what was written, maybe the BON?
