Thank youuuu so so much . I am beyond scared and feel like nursing instructor do not talk about this and what to chart like you mentioned pressure injuries, pain assessment , push pull method. Im just happy to know this info perios ! Big thank you .
Some of my nurse colleagues are so talented! I will review the charting and see that they were able to palpate +2 pedal pulses on BKA limbs. And I’m not talking about just a few nurses. Usually every nurse who charts on that patient afterward also finds themself able to palpate pedal pulses on these non-existent feet.
A close friend has worked for more than one company.. has maybe 3 years as an LPN, and seems to get roles which they put you with about 25-40 patients with no other nurses on shift. She is slow as she is not able to handout meds to that many people, chart, and keep up with food requests for each person. All the skills that are taught in nursing school are largely chucked to make sure that you can do all the patients. Drugs are scavenged from cups and proper protocols regarding checking of the people getting drugs are not followed. This is the stuff that burns consciencious nurses out as they are trying to keep up with management expectations and not lying about everything thruout the shift.
If your friend is experienced to try working through PRN agencies. At least check it out. I make my own schedule & it pays way more. Still, it has to be a good fit for the individual Nurse. I’m an experienced LPN, I love working this way! Good Luck 🍀 ♥️
People can also chart what they heard at the time. You may not hear crackles after interventions prior to your shift. Just chart what YOU see and hear.
Listen, I do copy what the nurse ahead of me documented. Usually if I know there’s no changes. I will reword and add my own assessments and anything that happened that day and delete what the nurse ahead of me charted. Ex) the patient went to therapy during the other nurse’s shift and didn’t on mine, i will omit that entirely. Etc… Usually, I copy and paste what the nurse ahead of me writes to get an idea of what i need to include bc tbh, nursing school didn’t fucking teach me how to chart 😭
As an LVN, you should be able to get your WCC (wound care certification). Here is a link to some info on eligibility: www.nawccb.org/frequently-asked-questions-wound-care-certification

What about code charting?
Listen, I do copy what the nurse ahead of me documented. Usually if I know there’s no changes. I will reword and add my own assessments and anything that happened that day and delete what the nurse ahead of me charted.
