OT/PT preformed by nurse
I’m currently working as a private duty nurse and my patient sees 4 therapists a week. I’m noticing some therapists have the expectation I’ll be practicing those therapies when they aren’t there. I have my hands full with nursing duties so the last thing on my mind is to do say, what OT suggested. My patient is also a baby so they mainly nap and fuss throughout my shift.
I feel I get spoken to by these therapist as if I’m the parent. They give me so much information which is great, but again, I have other responsibilities and duties. They expect me to be engaged during the therapy session, when that could be the only chance I get to eat, use the restroom, catch up on notes, etc. There’s so much I need to report to the parents on a nursing stand point and to be expected to rehash what each therapist did and why, doesn’t feel like it should be my responsibility. Curious to get others thoughts and opinions.
