I am wondering if your school is anything like mine. Different hospitals have different rules for the nursing students, and since I have been in nursing school the rules have changed so much, to the point that I feel like I am not getting sufficient experience, or equal experience. So, please share with me your experience at clinicals related to rules of the clinical site.
We are NOT allowed to document head-to-toe assessments on the patients electronic chart, (and they do not keep paper charting), we are NOT allowed to document medication administration under our name, it has to be charted under a teachers name.
Basically the only things we are ALLOWED to chart are the hourly checks (normally the CNA does that), and things like baths, sheet changes, meal consumption.
This change just occurred during my second semester, and of course the reason is a secret. So what are you allowed to chart at your clinical site?
