   Hi but you have misunderstood me. I dont want to hear 'My manager needs to fire her" I wanted to know, according to the original post whether this was considered falsification of documentation. I then wanted to hear opinions of those whom have been i...

   Hi CaffeinePOQ4HPRN, First and foremost I would like to say that no, there was no 'relationship with this nurse'. The reason which I am so 'emotionally invested' in this is because I am truly concerned about the patients safety. I have personally see...

   jigi888 replied to jigi888's topic in General Nursing

   Each wound has its own form. She completed all 3 of the forms. She also documented in the computer that she did all 3. The issue here is not that she may have had a lapse in concentration and forgot to do something (we all have those days), the issue...

   jigi888 replied to jigi888's topic in General Nursing

   She said that she did do all 3 dressings. Management did not even bother to contact the patient as the regule manager was away at the time. I was told to tell the patient next time I saw them that the nurse would not visit again, and the nurse was to...

7. Falsifying documentation

   jigi888 replied to jigi888's topic in General Nursing

   Hi, that's true but for the duration of time I have been there, it seems that dealings with incidents is inadequate and appear to just be brushed under the carpet. Caught in an ethical and moral dilemna, feels like I dont have any more left in me to ...

   Patient is A&O - wife was also present and witnessed it all. Also, when people mention that I need to talk to the nurse first, can they give me an example of what they would say? In my head, due to the seriousness of the issue, I believe that t...

12. Falsifying documentation

    jigi888 replied to jigi888's topic in General Nursing

    I have reported it and the nurse denied it, and it appears that management has done nothing except to tell the nurse no longer sees that specific patient. This particular nurse also has a history of trying to cover up a serious incident in the past.

13. Falsifying documentation

    jigi888 replied to jigi888's topic in General Nursing

    The reason which I didnt directly approach the nurse first about this issue is because there is a history of her being dishonest and trying to cover things up in the past. If you were in this situation, what would you do?
