You need to leave! Start looking for a new job. You want to work at a place where nursing staff watches each other's backs. Where instead of writing you up (which really any of us could be written up at any time for any trivial thing... missed signatures, not timing a T.O. or a forgetful patient who swears they didn't get their meds.) If people are trying to get you fired (for whatever reason, meaningful or not) they may start a paper trail on you i.e. every mistake you make, reporting it or writing it up. I had a manager who was like this-- she would pick and choose who she liked and these preferences would change at the drop of a hat. I often got blamed for ridiculous things-- I got written up for something that happened on my unit, when I was working on a different unit, and she SCREAMED at me in front of some patients over something our social worker was supposed to do. The thing was--- everyone knew she was a little off and we would all stick together, and she eventually received a "lateral" transfer to a position that doesn't require supervising, or patient interaction. While you may not be in a position to leave your job, you never know what might come along. And you're probably not in a position to be fired or unemployed either. Also, document, document, document. Since it sounds like you can't document on the patients at work, what is stopping you from documenting at home? Not on specific patients or procedures, but events, such as with the patient who had to be hospitalized. Just a quick blurb in a notebook or on your computer (remember HIPPA), this is what I observed and assessed, this is what the manager told me to do. This was the outcome. That way, if anything goes before the coard or if you are alleged of some wrongdoing, you will have documentation from that day to tell the events.
