I'm a brand new nurse at a very small end of life care facility. I got a new admit when I worked last and I was told I needed to text the facility's MD to let him know the new pt must be seen by a certain time Monday. It's been over a day now and the MD has not responded to my text. I charted that I did contact the doctor and summarized what I said to him in the text. I've never really communicated with MDs much before, but is there a "best way" to text MDs to get them to at least respond with an "ok" to my text to cover my butt? Thanks!
