Hi, I am dying a slow death here:cry:. In my area we complete patients records for surgery. We see patients draw lab,do E.K.G.s, complete health histories ect. My supervisor wants her dept. to be viewed as 100% perfect:yeah: and my responsibility is to review and make sure all charts are complete. If I find an error I am to take the chart back to that nurse or if that nurse is off I take the chart to her. On many occasions I have witnessed her signing another nurses name on a consent, health history or whatever it was they didnt sign. She does not put any notation that says so&so by MeR.N. Recently she drew lab on a patient and didnt label it so the lab tossed it.She was furious :angryfire because she had labels she could "run over to the lab to them". The patient was to be redrawn on admit.:confused:At that point she used liquid paper and covered up her initials on the orders made a copy and rewrote draw on admit where she had prviously wrote her initials,date and what vials she'd drawn. Now we are going around and around:argue: because I wont put my own initials on a surgery checklist along side checkpoints for the chart if I dont know its complete.I have told her I wont take resposibility for any thing on a chart that I had nothing to do with. Yesterday she sent me home for insubbordination and monday we will meet with the nurse manager. We both have worked at the same place for over 20 years and stress is high because of recent cutbacks so I have been afraid to report her false chart documentation because I dont want her to fire me. I am at a loss , how should I handle my meeting monday,,,,Can anybody out there help me:scrying:
