    False Documentation & Relationships

    beachynurse replied to Curiouscat12345's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That is frightening! I can't believe that management is dumping talking to them on you. What unsafe practice. How do they know the documentation is correct? That could lead to harm to the patients due...
