   Well just a follow up, I changed my note the next day. I did write an incident report up and gave it to my DON, only to find it in the shredding box later that day. Very frustrating.

   @NRSKarenRN thank you. On a personal and professional level, I felt blindsided because as the SDC- I couldn’t even educate the staff or alert them about the kits being taken off the floor. We hadn’t started with the new pharmacy yet, they take over t...

   @Wuzzie You're not going to upset me at all, I've been a nurse 10 years but I'm willing to learn. They did end up doing narcan x 4 once he got to the ER, the hospitalist note stated primary issue opioid overdose and secondary issue afib.

   OK, thank you for your feed back. I just wanted a sounding board, but you are right I'll remove it from my note. I'm just frustrated because if I fill out an incident report, it just goes to the DON and nothing will be done.

   OK here is my redacted note- I took out all PT identifiers... I kept the charting professional and discussed facts only. This nurse assisted in response to PT's change in status, PT was in his room at 930am sitting in bedside chair. CNA working ...

    I’m going to redact my note so you can see what I charted, I did not include that the DON had not informed staff.

11. Asked To Change My Nursing Note...

    Cdonocdo replied to Cdonocdo's topic in General Nursing

    That is why I’m reluctant to change it. I’m the SDC/ADON so it is my role to do the investigation. It may be over the top, but when I was charting I was infuriated that when I called the DON to let her know what was going on- she very casually stated...

    @CapeCodMermaid I would love to pick your brain! I'm on CC too. I just accepted the role of SDC/infectious disease and I don't know where to begin, this is my first time in a role of this capacity and I'm at a complete loss. I started on Monday and ...
