We nurses have a strong passion for our patients. Sometimes we can go overboard when it comes to advocating for our patients, especially when we feel the patients needs aren’t being met.
This is what not to do. (Shout Out to ER Stories)
Keep it professional people.
Keep it professional.

This is a great post! We do the same thing often in EMS. If you don’t mind I’m going to link your blog from mine. JS
@ JS I’d be honored! Thanks for the comment and visit!
Three simple rules when dealing with contentious/controversial moments in charting:
1) Avoid interpretative statements
2) Write based on directly observed facts
3) Use quotation marks
@ Phil Baumann I utilize the quotations quite a bit. Well said.
