Who can strike out a nurses note?

[Phyllis Martin]

Just recently I had a note I had written on a patient  striked out without my permission by corporate, It had my name attached to it as though I was the one who did it and done on a day I was not at work. The Directer of Nursing told me because I was the one that originally created the note my name is attached to it.  It was on a patient the state is involved with. Was told I should have documented in another part of chart where state can't see it, only  we can see it.  I was told coorporate has athority to do this.

Oof... That sounds like false documentation to me! Might not be a bad idea to inquire with the board of nursing and contact an attorney. Yikes.

Generally only the writer can strike out their own note, but I'm guessing that there was some data you included that should have been on an incident report (which are not accessible to the state) and not directly in the notes.
