I actually spoke with my manager, she told me the Doctor emailed her to complain. My manager spent hours reviewing my documentation and medication administration as well as my communication log with the MDs and she told me she did not find any mistakes. She congratulated me, gave me a gift card and mentioned me during the weekly bulletin she sends out to the unit. The patient mentioned to my manager how great I was, and that I did everything in my power to help her. I made no mistakes which is a huge relief. Thanks to everyone for your comments.

The patient is competent, with every insulin administration I verified the amount I had to give with the patient. Patient was stable throughout my shift. Patient kept telling me that the insulin units was not enough, she even expressed this with the doctors. the patient can definitely tell them how many I gave her insulin throughout the day. I have documentation in my voalte from work that I paged the doctors many times. I communicated with the charge nurse and other staff members that I couldn’t get ahold of the doctors. all my coworkers saw me throughout the day and heard me saying that the patients sugars were not doing down and that the insulin amount was not enough. They even got involved when the doctor said I didn’t do anything for the patient. my nurse manager saw me throughout the day as well as clinicians struggling to contact the doctors and figure out the insulin. in the patients chart it shows all the blood sugars I did and that I treated each one of them according to the orders that were placed.

I had a patient who was type 1 diabetic. Patient was on insulin. Blood sugars were elevated. MD is saying I didn’t administer insulin and the blood sugars were never treated. I have documentation in the MAR that insulin was given several times. MD wrote a note in the patients chart stating that insulin was never administered and that they were never paged. I had paged them several times before I got a response. What do I do?
