I just wouldn't report it. I'd be too concerned that later my nurse supervisor wouldn't take me serious if I reported too many smaller incidents. It may be uncomfortable, but not major. Use your discretion. nurse10000

I understand you feeling that the situation may have gotten a little rough. But reporting it as abuse should be saved for the unmanagable situations. If you get a reputation as being too sensitive, when something big really does happen, they won't respond and maybe not even care. Just food for thought. nurse10000

Purplemania is right. Don't appear defensive or even worried. Just ask if you think it needs documentation and what you need to record. Be cool about the whole thing, but just do it! nurse10000

Abuse? That sounds like southern comfort compared to here. I guess it all depends on where you work. Nurse10000

Please document this. You never know if it'll come back and bite you. Your nurse manager will support you. But like augigigiigi, sounds like you did fine. I did get in trouble big time once, and learned to document fast and accurately. nurse1000
