Wiki Signature Verification

[Verna]

I work in a critical access hospital and have a question about our Signature Verification Log. We often have to hire traveling RN's to staff our hospital. They are usually only here one shift. Are they required to sign our Signature Verification Log or are they covered because we hire them from an established agency?

Thanks,
Verna

It is generally good practice to have them sign the verification log as part of the start of their shift. Even with an established outside company a question may come up in regards to a signature or verification. This log is always recommended for all licensed employees.

Thank you, Chelle-Lynn. I tend to agree with you.
