The title says it all. I am a RN with a CCRN and CEN and am proud of that fact, I have worked hard for these certifications. One of the RN's I work with on my unit has failed both test on multiple occasions. The employer we work for has a deadline for us to complete these certifications (2 years) and if not completed by then we are terminated .
One of the RN's we work with has falsified their CCRN and CEN certifications so that they would not get fired. First I suspect the AACN and BCEN don't take this lightly. The AACN site states that to verify an RN's certification a signed release form from the RN needs to be submitted with the request. We then checked the "AACN congratulations to our newest members" online. (every month in the AACN magazine they publish the newest CCRN nurses.) Their name was not published their.
Can someone please guide me in an appropriate and anonymous way to deal with this. If you have any insight into this matter that would be greatly appreciated.
The OP was written shortly after midnight ... no surprise that he's not back online yet ... he could still be asleep or at work ... let's not let the hostility get out of hand.
Roser13 ... the majority response is predictable given the scanty - and seemingly contradictory - information in the OP. I did read some advice that took the OP at face value and proposed some possible courses of action. You need to bear in mind that too many of us have been mobbed, or seen other good nurses mobbed by a hostile "in-group" ... and the original post can easily be read as an instance of the same thing.
Frankly, I don't think there's enough information in the OP to know what the situation really is. Maybe we should give him a chance to return and clarify.
Wow, this thread turned out a LOT different than I expected.I wonder what happened to the OP? She ain't coming back lol
Based on the username, I would guess the OP is a he, not a she.
I agree, I don't think I would come back either. I think a bunch of posters here were just downright nasty. Calling him evil? Criticizing his spelling, really??
"Criticizing his spelling, really?? "Yeah, silly me. Seemed inconsequential, considering that he called the OP an evil person.
But it sure felt good!
No, I wasn't talking about your post. I was talking about the post from RNOTODAY saying that they were going to report HIM to HIS supervisor for being a poor speller.

"To the author of this thread. MYOB. What is your business with her certification. YOU WAKE UP EVERYDAY THINKING ABOUT SOMEONE ELSES CERTIFICATION. I will advice you call the person aside , if you are really bothered and talk it out, if you not a COWARD. Read your hospital policy concerning procedures for reporting issues. How old are you by the way? "
Seriously?! And you wonder why OP doesn't come back? He/she'd have to be masochistic.
Peterbrasco, you are extremely rude and you can't spell. Furthermore,you're not a nurse so I'm not exactly sure why you think your opinion is required in this thread.
