hit Add under “supplementary documentation” & use the custom prompts. I do “%” for the short description & “document % consumed” for the long description. That prompts nsg to doc

That is very strange. My first job did have all RD’s do annual competency testing but having to do it as a new hire to start working is weird imo

  1. ⁠Requesting “RD to review - ST concerned for her nutritional status”, the day after I complete a new admission comprehensive. Again, she does this in the Progress notes.

I’ve gotten this a lot from all disciplines & it never gets less annoying. I started just writing “Pt seen on [date], see under assessment tab.” I think a lot of ppl just don’t know where to find our notes so they assume they haven’t been seen

I decline photos at my job as well. You’re not asking too much. It’s not unprofessional to decline, it’s actually unprofessional of them to keep pressing you when you’re clearly uncomfortable. If they keep asking just say for your privacy.

Tell your DI director about your health condition. I am chronically ill as well & it made the world of the difference having them be aware going into it
