Wiki Rounding Nurse documentation

We have a scenario where an R.N. is rounding and assessing a physician's patients. She is documenting a progress note that includes an exam and hpi and signs it with her signature that includes "plan per Dr. X". The only documentation from the physician is a section at the bottom of the note with updates to medications, etc. I know a PA or NP can do this, but am unsure that an RN can provide these services.

Does anyone have similar situations or have any documentation supporting or contradicting this?

Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks!
