when you are accused of abuse

I was sent home today from my work because my co-worker reported me to my boss that I hit one of my patient. I was very upset and I couldnt beleive that I was being accused of such a thing. Patient is very confused and disoriented so he is not going to able to tell the truth. I'm worried about more about my license then my job. I wrote my statement and submitted it to my boss. But are they going to beilieve me? ITs her word against hers. How do you guys react to such a allegation against you?

I'm very sorry to hear this, Ms.RN. :(

We really can't offer much in the way of advice, since this matter is beyond our scope and should be handled by a competent attorney with experience in handling abuse allegations against healthcare professionals.

Right now, the less said, the better---you don't want statements floating around that can damage your case if it ever were to reach the BON or a courtroom. Make notes for yourself and keep them in a private place at home, so that you can recount events later if needed; otherwise, PLEASE do not talk to anyone at work (or anywhere else) about this matter, or post comments about it on any social media.

Good luck to you.
