ORIGINAL: tazzygirl LOL Im a labor and delivery nurse. I do believe i would know what is legal evidence in this country for birth aand what isnt. you talking about affidavits from 2 witnesses? arent to many ways you can make a legitimate public record you know. Since you arent too familiar, allow me to inform. Nurses notes are just as much part of the medical file as Physician's notes, just as legally binding, and just as legally required. Each Labor and Delivery unit is required to keep a record of live births. I remember working at Conway Hospital in SC in that L&D unit. Included in its record of live births is a famous game show personality. Included in that record, as in all live birth records kept on the unti, was the name, sex, race, apgar score, medications given during delivery, complications, time admitted to the nursery, pediatrician assigned, and a tiny column left for the baby's legal name before discharge. No lines are allowed to be skipped, no white out may be used. Any errors result in a single line drawn through the entire entry and an immediate correction entry beneath that is made. These are large ledgers and depending on the size of the unit and number of deliveries, they can be used on the unit for years before being completely filled out. At which time they are shelved within the nursery and a new one began. This record is admissable in courts as proof of a live birth. Thats an interesting point. First what part of the world are you from so I know what venue we are in here? Are you saying that a nurses notes stand on there own? I would be surprised. SOP is 2, so if we have a dead mother for instance I would not think your notes would stand on their own for the public record. Add the mothers sig to it now it should be good. What jurisdiction are you in?
