They were sent to my work e-mail. At first I was not given a deadline, and then, on the second e-mail, I was given a deadline, but I was on leave at that time. I did check my e-mails, because I did try to make an effort to comply with the deadline that was given, even though, I was on leave and they knew about it. Does it make sense??

I understand that and I am going to do the reflection. However, I did not like the way that this situation was handled. When I specificly said that I was on leave, and still, they were insisting and asking about the article and the reflection.

Hello Everyone, I was not planning to start a topic about this, however, I am feeling so annoyed about this situation that I would like to know your opinions about it. Here is the situation: - An invalid prescription was detected on the ward that I work for. The prescription was not signed for, and the first two nurses that checked the medication ( Sytron), did give it and it carried on for a few days until someone realized that the prescription was not signed, even though, it was checked and signed by a pharmacist, it was not signed by the doctor who prescribed it. Me and my colleagues involved in this situation, were asked to persue an article in the literature about medications errors. I was informed about this by e-mail, and I was not given a deadline or whatsoever, therefore, I did not send the article straight away. However, before going on annual leave, I sent an e-mail apologising for the situation, and i was given a final date to send the article which did clash with my annual leave. Even though, I did send the article. I did check my e-mails again, and I received another one, saying that i failed to comply with the deadline, and they are now asking for a reflection about it, according to the NMC code. I realized that the e-mail was not delivered, but again, after I have explained that I am on anual leave, the final date was clashing with my annual leave!!!!! What do you think of this situation? Are they acting correctly?? Am I expected to check my work e-mail during my annual leave??!!!!! Thanks
