Hi, I am an RN and have been one for three years. I am in good standing where I work at the hospital. I have a concern about a nurse who complains all the time and lied to my boss about an occurence. A patient came to the floor with Lactated Ringers on to gravity. our hospital policy is to use pumps for fluids. Well the patient actually had an order to advance his diet as tolerated. There was no order to continue the IV fluids. So I heplocked the patient but I didnt throw away the bag and left it hanging on the wall. Not attached to the patient though. So anyway I didnt chart that I heplocked him but I did chart on the daily graphics sheet that his IV fluid intake for the night was "0". The nurse told my boss that I didnt put the fluids on the pump and that the fluids had ran in to gravity. The only documentation I have is that graphics sheet. I sent a very nice and matter of fact email to my boss about it, but I dont know how he is going to react. Like I said I have oriented other nurses to our unit and have been transferred to ICU before so they must have some trust in my skills. How bad is this? The only thing I did do wrong and took responsibility for was that the patient was not set up in Bucks traction correctly. I had the boot and the weight attached but no pully. The patient was not complaining of any pain at all. I wrote an email to my boss apologizing and that I would read up on the application of a bucks traction unit. Any input would be wonderful.
