This nurse has made several mistakes on every case for home health. She continuously takes the notepad home and/or charger several times when it's supposed to be left in the home. Resulting in all of us nurses having to revert back to paper charting until she decides to responds to our work offices messages about bringing back the notepad. Second , whenever there are new med orders she does not write them down in the Mar nor create an addendum. We have a communication log and I'm trying to be professional about this but at this point I feel like just putting a statement with her name in it on the communication log so that she knows we all know she keeps screwing up. Maybe addressing her in this manner will let her know all eyes are on her and to get it together. Here is one piece that I wrote. Would this be considered rude or unprofessional, "notepad charger is unavailable. Britney has it our company has been informed and reached out to her to bring charger back. Notepad battery life at 5% will have to use paper notes until she brings back."
Also what I'd like to include. Another nurse notices Britney didn't initiate an addendum nor added on the Mar. So the nurse from other agency asked In the communication log , " is patient receiving × med because I don't see where it's documented nor signed off its supposed to be given for 5 days?"
I'd like to add ", med was supposed to be initiated on Britney shift. It was not given nor signed off so I initiated first dose so the new stop date for med will be x date".
