NURSING LIABILITY

I RECIEVED A CALL FROM ANOTHER RN IN A SEPARATE AREA AND SHE WAS GIVING ME TELEPHONE PHYSICIAN ORDERS. I ASKED IF SHE WAS GOING TO COME OVER AND WRITE THESE ORDERS SINCE THE MD TOLD THEM TO HER. SHE WAS AFFENDED & TOLD ME TOWRITE THE ORDERS AND SIGN THEM AS T.O. PHYSICIAN'S NAME/HER NAME/MY NAME/ HER NAME AGAIN. BEFORE I COULD GET IT WRITTEN THE MD CALLED WITH THE ORDERS TO ME BUT HE WASNT PLEASED I DIDNT WANT TO TAKE SECOND HAND ORDERS. OF COURSE HE HAS TO BE THE BIGGEST "PIA" IN THE BUILDING.

IS THERE A PLACE THAT I CAN FIND INFORMTION ABOUT WHO CAN & CANT GIVE ORDERS, ALREADY VIEWED OUR STATE WEB SITE & THE NURSE PRACTICE ACT.

WOULD ALSO LIKE OTHER VIEWS ON THE SITUATION.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    I would want HER to write the TO on an order sheet and give to me. She took them, she should have ALREADY written them anyway right? To READ BACK you have to WRITE THEM. The standard of practice is to write them down and read them back.

    Check your facility's policy. It is typically acceptable for a licensed nurse to relay an MD's order by telephone to another nurse. It would only be unacceptable if you were being given the verbal by an unlicensed person (i.e. the MD's medical assistant).

    If she has access to the chart or if you use electronic charting, it would be more appropriate for her to write the order. If not, it would typically be acceptable for your to write the order and sign TO Dr. So-and-So/Other Nurse's Full Name, RN/Your Name, RN.
