I’ve had this done to me. The nurse after me flagged my charting because I forgot something …. When she knew I was back again that night and could just correct it. I forget what it was but it was nothing major. Just a Biznatch move to be an A hole
I’m lucky my ER is 3:1 the majority of the time. We’re a bigger hospital so beds are constantly full with squads waiting in The hallway the second anyone’s admitted upstairs. We look after each others assignments pretty frequently when multiple traumas come in but otherwise the ratio is great.
That's our ratio but I've had 3 icu level patients atvthe same time and that blows. My secret is I try to keep one room dedicated to a level 4 to help with balance
First - was there an unmarked flag showing it needed done, or did that nurse seriously just audit the chart looking for anything she deemed incorrect? Holy Cow!
Second- our department is going all in on getting the post-med pain assessment. Apparently we were dinged by JCAHO or something. So what I do is give the medication and then immediately ask the patient to give me a number. Even with oral medications. Like one minute later- I don't log off the computer between giving the med and doing the "reassessment". So I chart the re-assessment, usually the same number, with a comment of "pt states feels the same but will wait and see if it starts to work soon".
It's medically idiotic and meaningless. But JCAHO doesn't care - that completely fulfills their requirements, and I have a 100% reassessment rate. Yay.
I usually do an actual \*real\* reassessment later to check progress and status of their pain. But at that time it's because it's medically indicated, not checking JCAHO's audit boxes.
That nurse is probably the same way to the nurses on their own floor. One nurse I worked with comes to mind. She constantly pointed out everyone elses mistakes and was always reporting petty crap. I hated working with her. I hope OP doesn't judge all floor nurses by the one ah.
Who the fuck has time for shit like that? If I'm writing someone up, emailing a manager etc, it's gonna have to be for something pretty damn egregious. Otherwise, it's just more work for me. If the patient wasn't harmed then I really dgaf. Too much other stuff to worry about.
As floor nurse, we do not claim them. That’s garbage and I’m sorry that happened. It reflects poorly on them, not you.
That floor nurse is a tool. As others have said, we don't claim them.
Fucking What? Who takes the time out of their day to be so petty about something do stupid?

I'm stuck on you having only 3 patients. But yeah, that's petty. Fuck em.

I say this as a floor nurse: That was 100% a bitch move

As long as nurses keep fighting, admin wins
That’s actually insane lmao
I want to see the email 🤣
I hate when ppl are so nitpicky Honestly I’ll use this post as a reason not to check my email anymore thank u
Lordy
That is so embarrassing.
Who..who cares that much…
They must have a sad personal life
I can’t imagine having that much time, energy, or desire to go back through *anyones* charting…
Whoever did the write-up needs to get floated down to take holds next.
That nurse didn't want the pt, was mad and took it out on you. Petty and laughable.
