med pass and the mar

i have a question for all nurses who do med pass in the correctional setting. do you sign your mar daily, during the med pass, or at the end of the month. i am asking due to my current administrator has told the nurses to make sure the mar is being signed by the end of the month. that it is not necessary to sign it during the actual med pass. now to me this goes against the board of nursing but i am wondering is there a different standard for correctional nursing?

    We used to sign them once a month. The thing is at our facility, we aren't always assigned to the same units for med pass or always have the same people. There's always a lot of inmate movement between units. So management puts up a sheet at the beginning of the month where we put our initials and signature which covers us for the month and carries us for all the MARs. A copy then gets placed in each chart when the MARs get filled at the end of the month

    At the facility I worked the nurses signed the mar at the time of dispense of the medication. The professional regulation broad policy is if the medication or treatment is not signed for than it was not dispensed or the treatment was not preformed.

    We have electronic mars so it's done at the time of dispensing.
