Rosale Lobo – Legal Nursing Certificate Course
Are you unknowingly putting your career at risk?
It’s time to learn how you can secure your job, license, and protect yourself from potential lawsuits.
Let’s meet Jessica. Jessica had always heard, “if you don’t document, you will get in trouble.” During her orientation for a new job, her preceptor taught her how to document the unit requirements and reassured Jessica that writing much more than that was a waste of time. Jessica never questioned this, and actually thought, “I don’t need to worry about charting; the computer takes care of that. If I chart what my unit audits for, I can sleep soundly.”
2 years later… Jessica sits down quietly at the deposition table, spells her name for the court reporter and is sworn in. “Do you promise to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.”
If this happened to Jessica, it could happen to you!

With all the training and education nurses receive, there is little true explanation about the importance of documentation. Even in today’s litigious culture and the backlash of services no longer reimbursable—it is crucial we as nurses understand the rationale for our documentation practices. By creating specific systems to ensure license protection, we in turn provide more effective hand-off communication. Every nurse knows it’s the law and that you don’t want to lose your license, but do we really know why the methods of documentation are so vital to our livelihood? Has the electronic medical record made this approach additionally arduous? Do the questions on the EMR provide an accurate picture of the actual care provided? Often times, these reports are not clear or complete.
Through fictional and non-fictional stories, Rosale Lobo reveals proper nursing documentation techniques— providing clarity and important best practice concepts that can be applied immediately.
Extraneous situations will arise in nursing, making it imperative to develop intentional methods of documentation. By putting together an effective system you will decrease your chances of being sued. For the future of nursing documentation, the EMR is not the answer, a personal system of accountability is.
