Hello friends,
i am really worried what i did. Actually i am new in here in usa as a nurse...i recently got my nclex-rn exam and now i am working in SNF. my concern is ..ok when i last day worked there, one of my resident's son wants her mother to get discharge and take her home tomorrow. i said ok i have to take orders from the MD. then i call MD and he said its not ok its against medical advice and doc said we can send her after two days. then i talked to the son on the phone and he said ok i can wait till two days, i dont want to go against medical advice...earlier he was so mad and yelling at me because his mother doesnt like the environment and food etc etc. what my concern is i did not document discharge orders on doc's orders sheet and what i did was just noted on the calendar and documented on nurses notes and endorsed to the next shift. was i supposed to document in the doc's orders sheet and have made the T.O order and also is the management gonna take action against me for this thing?????????
i am really worried. i totally forgot.
plz advice me if i can do something?
Thanks in advance.
