I am not a nurse, but to post a pic of them on MY personal page, it's just doesn't make sense or seems right at all, even with permission. Sorry to tell you this but really sounds like a very dumb thing to do from your part.

I hope the permission is written. To be honest, I can't imagine why anyone would post on Facebook or other website if there is even the slightest possibility of harm or of violating the employer's policies.

I hope we all remember to never, never, never, never, never do this.

Forget about sharing your own personal info at work, no matter how long you care for a patient. I know it happens, but it is just not advisable.

Good luck.

My first reaction is that it is about the hospital's name on the scrub top. You may have violated some rule, because you are a nurse and the picture contained privileged information. I'm not sure at all the issue, to tell you the truth. That is one reason why photos make me nervous. Especially now in the digital age. (But enough about me.)

Hopefully you will be able to get the grievance in writing. If not, ask. If you have a recorder that is inobtrusive, unobtrusive, I think you might record.

This is a pretty innocent error. I have concerns if this is the best that corporate counsel can do with their time.
What privileged info? She says she had a permit for Mom's and baby's info. Are you saying the logo is privileged? You need to consult a lawyer right away. Copyright lawyer, labor lawyer, civil lawyer, something. Do it NOW.

Most hospital logos are registered trademarks, so unfortunately, there can be a lot of trouble. Been there, accidentally.
