Description

In this episode of The College Connection Podcast, we chat with Brenda Carroll, Director of Professional Conduct Review at the College of Registered Nurses, to discuss one of the most critical aspects of nursing practice: documentation.


Brenda offers insights into why clear, timely, and accurate documentation is not just a professional obligation—but also a nurse’s strongest protection in the event of a complaint or investigation. From real-world examples to common documentation pitfalls, this episode empowers RNs with practical advice to ensure their records reflect safe, ethical, and competent care.


Whether you’re a new graduate or a seasoned RN, this is a must-listen episode that reinforces a fundamental truth: if it’s not documented, it didn’t happen.
