Funny! Did your orientee do all that. I love that advise!

jjbaby I agree with all the advise you've been recieving. Soak it up, you can learn so much in those 3 weeks. Look, listen, ask, do. I spent many years (10yrs) in a PCU setting, did a share day in the ER and never went back to PCU ( been an ED nurse now for 7 years). Can't think of ever doing anything else. ENJOY THE EXPERIENCE! no matter how overwhelming it may see.

Get out of there girl! Like one of the replies implied.....Better to have no job right now than no license forever! You can get another job now, but never put your license in jeopardy! Also this place sounds like 1 lawsuit after another just waiting to happen. Also, did you ever hear that nurses who carry personal malpractice insurance are more likely to be named in a suit than nurses who don't? Go, Run to the nearest exit!!!!!!

No one has any information about this?

I work in a hospital ER that has a "fast track" area, staffed by a P.A., a R.N., and an ER tech. We are using the T System of charting. The P.A. sees the patient, the tech does the dressings and splints, etc.,and also can type up a discharge instruction sheet using Logicare computer program. The R.N.'s major role is giving meds and giving the patient the discharge. My question is how much charting is the nurse legally have to do? Must she legally do the assessment portion of the T sheet. If not how is she libel if she leaves it blank...If you are not familiar with the T System, it is a complaint oriented charting system. My co-workers are having a difficult time leaving areas blank, because we were taught if you don't chart it, you haven't done it. Anyone know the legalities in an urgent care setting??
