LPN

Published

Hello . I have been an LPN for over 6 years now . The past 4 years I have practiced in home health setting . I was fired yesterday and am being reported to the board of nursing by my previous employer for falsifying documents. I have always been a great nurse and asset to my team . My patients love me and I never get complaints . I made a stupid decision . I seen one of my patients on two occasions and after performing care and doing my assessment the patient had something to go do so instead of having the patient sign , I later finished my documentation and then signed the patients name . I know how stupid it was and regret it deeply ! I am terrified about my license and have no clue what is going to happen . Has anyone been in a similar situation or heard of such . I'm curious as to what to do legally and what my form of discipline will be for this filed complaint to the board of nursing . Please help !

Thanks

If your states makes disciplinary decisions public you could start reading previous cases there.
