This is just one of many issues at the ER, I think I am going to be on my way out. You are right on all of that- makes it a very uncomfortable work environment when you are regularly expected to do stuff like that.

Yes they are signing his name only- not writing their name at all

Yes it seems like a no brainer!

Wow thank you for all of that!!!

It’s just a ridiculous pain in the butt instead of having someone just sign their own name! Yes I saw that a article! But like you said she wasn’t forging his name at least! ? you would think it’s a no brainer right?!

I think so too- I was trying to find hard proof of that somewhere. I couldn’t find it on the Tx BON site

Thank you- I had never been on this forum before this and it is so supportive!

That is exactly what I'm thinking- thank you so much.

That is exactly what I'm thinking- I brought it to the attention of someone and am waiting to hear back about it. Thank you. Thank you- it literally prints out 3 feet from his desk- he just doesn't feel like it, so now "everyone" just does it for him and I'm a weirdo because I don't want to and I'm not going to.

Yeah I have never done it! I think it's crazy- was just wondering if anyone else had ever heard of it.

Thank you so much- does all of this only apply to controlled substances?

So is it allowed for an RN to sign their name and write the MD's name?

Yes they are signing his name Yes I am going to let the department manager know about it

Move to west texas and you'll get a job in a heartbeat

That's a good idea thank you. I'm just thinking I don't want to raise hell if it is legal for an MD to delegate that
