We have always had the offgoing nurse read from the narc book that we sign out the narc's and the oncoming nurse looks at the count card and either agree or disagree but now they say we have to do it just the other way around and really doesn't make since to me. I really appre. you getting back to me so quickly.
I've been a nurse for 29 years and the facility has had 3 Administrators and now on the 4th D.O.N.in 6 mos., They all have different ideas on how to do things, I'm now told we have been counting the narc's all wrong. Can anyone tell me the correct way to count off the narc's at shift chg..Pease I want to be right in what I'm doing.
