Oh there is... we each take a week at a time and rotate... I have never even received a call from a weekend staff member during my call...I just worked an overnight shift for the RN Supr because she told me she had to work a day shift that Saturday... and she didn't... I have 12 years at this facility, the longest of anyone here... I've been through 3 buyouts in the last 2 years and had high hopes for good things... I feel like there's a target on my back

More to the story...it took our DON 3 times to pass his RN boards ... in the meantime, my facility hired a floor RN to step in in case he didn't pass.. he did and they made the RN just a supervisor... he commented to me that he would have to find plenty for her to do so we could keep her... in the meeting where I was accused of falsifying charting, it was brought up that we were over budget on nursing managers...I was made ADON 2 years ago... they promoted a new LPN to adon 2 about 2 months ago, then hired the RN supervisor " just in case”… both of us Adons were told in the same meeting that 4 people had called and complained that we were unapproachable and rude...from the weekend double crew... We haven't worked a weekend in months! Sound fishy?

Thank you! It was an honest mistake on their part and they felt they did nothing wrong either...up until I was assigned all wound care, the floor nurses did their own wound care...it took a few days to get them to stop but they did..I did all the skin assessments and wound documentation so it was clear I was doing wound care... yet I should be "glad I wasn't fired"

I was accused in a meeting yesterday of falsifying charting. I work in long term care and was recently assigned wound care. The floor nurses were charting wound care was being done by me at first then were told to stop and let me do the charting. We use PCC. It took them a time or two to remember not to click the wound care buttons but they did. How is this falsifying documentation on my part?
