anonymous caller accused me of stealing drugs for years and tying to sell to.

[blinky, ASN, RN]

First time i was told by my DON [after being called in before my shift for a meeting] that it was his son, then later she said it was his daughter, then i asked her another question the following day and she says he said i tried to sell to his daughter AND his friends son

-man knows my address and apparently drove by my house while i was at work last Monday [ how is my first question did this person know this]

- why did he not call the cops,if I had a son/daughter and someone tied to sell her drugs, id call the damn cops

-once of the drugs he listed and accused me of ive never had access too'

-For years you've supposedly seen me steal drugs and not done anything about it?

-my DON and HR rep agreed during our conversation we both felt that this mans story had numerous holes and suspicions

-My DON said she didnt think it was a employee as the person on the phone didnt her job title, but said person could of lied

[My DON had asked me how long i've been working there,this is in my file so why ask?]

But its almost 4 years, stand out employee no write ups, all offs, or even being late,

-They did not ask for a drug test, and said i was suspended with pay pending the investigation by corporate who would be looking at the history of all nurses and all carts that we work on [ which carry our pills and have our shift to shift narcotic sign off sheet]

She said she needed me to work this weekend and hoped the investigation would only take a few days 3 by her guess.

What would you do if you were in my position? I have a lawyer through work but since this is work related im not sure it is covered.

Today after driving around my tire went flat and what im 99% sure is a knife slash, based on the smooth line slit/puncture. I filed a report with the police but oh my employer allows anonymous complaints so i now have someone trying to get me fired and knows my address and drove by while i was away according to my night manager who took the initial call...

i still feel its bitter employee or someone i wrote up awhile ago, [ my ca was also keyed a few weeks ago but is a junker and i just didnt care to report it and let it go.

I wouldn't be all that concerned about the internal investigation. It sounds like your don is simply following protocol.

What I would be concerned about is the amount of information that this person knows about you and what's been happening with your car. A huge flag is this person stating that they were driving past your house?

I would get back in touch with the police and ask to speak with someone that deals with stalking. While this might not seem like it fits the criteria, i think it could. Make sure that you get their direct line in case you need to contact them again. Incidents like you're describing are best handled by people that are specifically trained.

Working with the public in highly stressful situations can make some people experience extreme emotions. Remember, your first duty is to protect yourself.

Yeah I would be most concerned that this anonymous caller is stalking you and potentially intending to harm you. I would speak to the police again.

I would ask to file a report with the detectives who handle stalking. This sounds like a personal vendetta. Don't wait.

this is all good info, except what do i say when they ask who, the caller wont leave any information

i told my DON that if this person calls again they should not be given any information about the investigation without giving personal information due to the nature of things going on at my house and that they already admitted to driving by my house

but HOW did this person get my address.

The whole anonymous complaining policy my company has i understand the need, but what about protecting employees? doesnt seem to important...

my company through my 4 years working i have seen many cenas suspended due to unfounded accusations of familys, and pts who are not with it, dementia Alzheimers etc.

But i do enjoy most of my co workers, and especially my LTC pts, and they enjoy me.trust me etc

The police can access phone records. They can monitor your home. They can request to be alerted by your facility if Mr. Anonymous calls again. Call. Tell them everything. Mr. Anonymous has crossed the line. The police will be able to advise you

i recently called my DON to see the status of investigation she said they found nothing that supports his claims and i should expect to resume work this Saturday on my next scheduled day.

she said he said he may call back on Monday. But she is not allowed to give any details of the results investigation.

I told her of the idea you guys gave me of contacting the police unit of stalking and that they may have some technology that they can hook up to their phone-lines that will by pass the blocked call thing

again thank yu for ideas, post any comments or other ideas and ill keep this post updated.

what should i expect any different treatment from my employer post this incident?Will i have a looky loo follow me?

From what i've read what this man has done is considered slander,and i do wish to peruse charges against him. or at least defamation of character.

Since he claims he stalked your home start with that angle with the PD. Then you can move onto false claims. But that may fall under stalking and harassment. I vote call your local PD. Your employer can verify. Your employer is likely obligated to investigate allegations. They won't be forced to continue to investigate if he calls. HOWEVER if you have the police involved they may wish to be involved if/when he calls back.

[blinky, ASN, RN]

So investigation is completed they found nothing.

My DON said she'd help with the stalker report and ic an give them her direct cell#.

-i assume the PD have some technology they can hook up to my companies phone lines to unblock calls or like you said look up call history of blocked calls.As my DON mentioned he may try to call back Monday.

As i see it this is a vindictive guy out to get me or just crazy, but he knows where i work, my car and my home,so whats next when he can see me return to work and see his BS claim fell through, what may he escalate to next?

I Should get bonus 12 hour stress pay for this ****...

I have a friend in a similar situation. A drug seeking patient called the nurse advocate and accused her of diverting. So they escorted her off the floor midshift, not discreetly. She did a urine and blood drug screen and is awaiting results. They told her she was suspended without pay. She requested the no pay policy, which doesn't exist, so it looks like she will be reimbursed for the time missed assuming her screen is negative. The results were supposed to be back yesterday, and everyone is giving her the run around. From what I've read, they could fire her on suspicion regardless of a negative result. Should she already be seeking legal council? Unfortunately the poor girl, 28 years old, she had NHL now in remission and still has tons of medical bills. She'd love to avoid a lawyer bill for something she hasn't even done.
