I would just like a few opinions on this. I work at a pediatric office and mainly do triaging. Sometimes when I get home I remember pertinent information that should've been charted at the time of the visit. I usually work one day a week so I can't just add it the next time I am there, it would be too long after. I have called another nurse the next morning to add a note for me but I really don't like doing that cause it's not their work, it's mine. I have also gone back after my shift to add in the additional information, but I feel weird going back there when no one else is there. What are some of your thoughts on how I should handle this. Thanks for the input!
