Hi all, last week day nurse hadn't changed drsg (scaly/mole) on resident back for 4 days, the drsg was dated..I did change and thankfully the mole was healing. I wrote in report book regarding this and the next day she told me he didn't want it changed although it was not circled in treatment book and she also said the third shift. well I asked the 3rd shift nurse who said she never changed it. I also let DNS know. I guess the point is should I have not wrote this in the shift report???? Thankfully the resident was ok and when I asked him if he refused he said no..

    I would think it's sort of a pick-your-battles thing. Was it something that was missed and should be addressed? Maybe. Was it an oozing potentially infected wound that was neglected and could cause serious harm? Not really. Maybe I would have checked with the other nurse before writing it on the report sheet, but unless you wrote something like "idiot on first shift can't do her job nearly as well as I can", I wouldn't think anyone would get too bent out of shape over it.

    yes, the dressing should have been changed, but...

    if this is the other nurse's worst transgression, that's pretty good in my book

    i wouldn't have wrote it in the book, but rather investigated in a joking manner

    such as, "are you allergic to moles?"
