    Nurse charting inaccurate vital signs...please help

    NurseLatteDNP replied to NurseLatteDNP's topic in General Nursing

    She does not know that I rechecked the charts. And I think she uses my vital signs as a baseline. She wants me to take the vitals and then give a copy of it. I don't know if she does it every time,...

    Nurse charting inaccurate vital signs...please help

    NurseLatteDNP replied to NurseLatteDNP's topic in General Nursing

    Believe me, I am too. I have never seen this before. I mean why would you want to make vital signs look better? It does not serve any purpose (I think). All the vital signs she writes down are closer...

    Nurse charting inaccurate vital signs...please help

    NurseLatteDNP replied to NurseLatteDNP's topic in General Nursing

    You are right, I don't have a proof that she did not retake the vital signs, I never seen her do it, but that does not mean she didn't. I don't see a purpose in changing them like that. But the...
