5. Charting for another nurse

   mominsd replied to mominsd's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks All. I gave my notice today. They said if I don't chart for the LVN, then I need to quit because they can't let the LVN go because she has been there for 10 years. Needless to say I quit and I feel great about my decision.

9. Charting for another nurse

   mominsd replied to mominsd's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you for the reply! My thoughts too. My common sense keeps telling me its wrong, but the director keeps telling me its ok because I need to co sign the LVN's notes anyway. By the way, in Calif an RN does not need to co-sign. I'm not returng to t...
