chain of command
Does anyone else have or have had a situation where you feel you are doing your superiors share of the workload? I work in the ER. I am a RN but im starting to feel like a Doctor. Some of my coworkers who are also nurses are starting to feel this way too so Im sure its just not me. Lately the Doctor has been asking me to do things with patients that I feel is not in my scope of practice but in his. For example; Patients that are prescribed medication on the way out of the ER needs to be evaluated by the Doc himself but he has been asking me to write whatever script I feel is needed and he will sign it. Although I feel I know mostly what I am doing, I am no Doctor and this is making me extremely uncomfortable. If I go above his head it will most likely back fire and If I confont him about it im worried it will make for an uncomfortable work setting. Anyone else been in this situation?
Re: chain of command
because it violates the Nest's TOS.
PLEASE DO NOT SPAM THE BOARDS
You need to refuse to do this. Tell the doctor "that is not within my scope of practice". Flat out refuse. If you keep prescribing medicine you will lose your license, its just a matter of time before some patient sues. You also need to bring it to the attention of your nurse manager, and HR. This really is a lawsuit waiting to happen.
I often have docs not familiar with pediatric dosing ask me to "just put in whatever you would normally give". Um, no thank you. They have access to drug books just as readily as we do. I will put in a verbal, as long as its a full verbal order with dosage, route etc. I will not ever put in a verbal for scheduled drugs. So far no one has complained.
Please look out for yourself and bring this to someones attention.
Another good website for RN related questions is allnurses.com. They offer really good advice.
