Could you do a little segment on late charting vs back charting?

this is what infuriates me. nothing we do is right ever. we can always be sued for doing our best with limited time and resources. I'm so sick of this

This 👆🏻needs to be taught in nursing school. Get rid of care plans and teach the importance of charting and how to protect yourself

Honestly if ive done nothing wrong and someone wants to take away my license just for not properly documenting something im done. I prioritise patients not a computer. I do my best but nobody is perfect

L&D is back charting more often than not. Having to chart on mom&baby every 15 min during labor and almost always 2 sets of patients. Not to mention q 5 min during pushing. It’s impossible to be present with a pt or tied to a computer to chart. Suggestions?

I write “appears” when I do skin notes to describe and put a wound nurse consult in because I am not certified as a wound nurse

I saw a court transcript where a nurse had charted they were in the patient's room at 22:00. The attorney had pulled all the charts that nurse touched that shift and 4 other notes were charted with tasks in other rooms as occurring at 22:00 🚩🚩🚩

We were taught to document “appears asleep” instead of just asleep because you can’t be certain they are asleep. I guess I should switch it up to “resting with eyes closed”

If we can’t say “appears”, what would be a better and legal choice.

“Patient seems okay today” that’s another line that drives me insane 🥴

I love "you are not the cops' assistant." I work in forensic psych, and this is something I teach new nurses. I'll chart a lot... but I'm not documenting to hurt them legally. Of course this is nuanced, and sometimes you do have to chart to malingering. But in general, I'm going to protect my patient's rights first.

As a CNA/LNA who is in school pre-nursing, I get so annoyed when the active nursing students chart on residents they didn't do care on. I thought this was standard across the health field.

This is wildly useful information - and not just for nurses - for anyone in healthcare in my opinion. I just can’t say how great this is enough. Thanks for what you do!

Ugh. My unit has ALOT of verbal orders entered by the RN with provider sign off. If we don’t do it it doesn’t get done.😞

Everybody chart 0800 or 2000. I chart the real time I sit to chart. Nobody has done a complete assessment 1 hour into the shift. I usually chart 2300 or 0100. Am I wrong?

Can you elaborate on late charting vs back charting? And how to properly document this?

Kateyyyy :
My hospital directs us that CIWA and NIH assessments MUST be documented at exactly 0800. 1200 and 1600. It’s unlikely that I can do them at exactly those times especially if I have more than one to do. Charting that 2 patients received those assessments at exactly those times is false documentation. How do you recommend we do that? We are reprimanded if we don’t chart them at exactly those times. And why do hospitals want them at those exact times instead of when the were actually done.

THIS is why I want to go back to school for JD RN because I want to be on the side helping our nurses 😤 tired of everything being our fault even when we do everything right.
