I have a new co-worker who is a new grad NP. She is endangering patients because of her lack of clinical competence. She is writing inappropriate prescriptions, overdosing people on meds, not getting weights on peds patients for dosing, and is not sending really ill patients to higher levels of care.
I have alerted my superior to the issue and the co-workers has apparently been counseled on numerous occasions but the mistakes keep coming. My superior told me I could speak to this co-workers because I have been the one to have to clean up all her errors. I have refrained from saying anything because I thought my superior would take care of it.
Now, I don't know what to do. I feel for my co-worker because she is new but she doesn't know the most basic things. I also am concerned that if she gets involved in a lawsuit, I'm going to get fried because I am well aware of her subpar skills/dangerous behaviors. Am I doing enough since I passed it along to my superior?
