I am aware
And CARES is being abused if this is going on. Your APRN acquaintance has the authority to properly list code status. I suggest she or he do it. My orders on code status in CCM cannot be changed by anyone but another physician. We don’t change orders of our colleagues s it pertains to code.
Unless you are in the hospital practicing please do not tell me you know what is going on. I am at bedside every day. Are you?
1. I work in a hospital
2. I also do advocacy work & am in touch with nurses & patients all over the US. I have nursing contacts in Canada as well
3. Every day? No....I do not work at the bedside every day. I am a wife & mother, plus I also run a house. I don’t know anyone who works every day, except you.
