Worried! Phone in prescription

[nessa1982]

I work inat an outpatitent surgery center in PACU. The surgeon usually leaves an RX for pain meds for the patient, but today the MD left without leaving an RX I called the MD and he gave me a phone order to call to the pharmacy. I read back the phone order ect..but I am wondering If I just made a huge mistake..I know I should have told the MD to call in his own order..but I called it in and told the pharmacist to call the MD with any questions and to call the MDs office for his DEA #...did I just make a huge mistake? Is my license at risk? My manager and other RNS in house said it was fine..but I am still worried

In LTC we get verbals from the doc and call them into pharmacy all the time. Now they will only send a 3 day supply and the doc needs to fax a written script to them.

we call in prescriptions all the time when a pt. is discharged...no problems in my state...
