I have become aware and have copies of documents that my boss, the director of our division, has forged. She has signed another nurses name to 2 documents (med list and nursing assessment) and altered a nursing assessment already signed by another nurse. I have not yet found any documents of "mine" that she has altered but plan on looking for those as this is really scary. There are other nurses that I work with who also have documents that she has altered or forged. The boss has very distinctive handwriting so there is NO WAY to not know it is her handwriting.
My colleagues and I have also been asked to commit fraudulant acts by her and have refused to do this.
This woman was "fired" 3 months ago for reasons other than above (harassment, bullying....) and we were told that she would be staying as our boss until her replacement was found. Needless to say, she is still our boss and we (many of the nurses) are enraged.
I have spoken to an attorney and he has advised us (group of nurses) to meet with the CEO ASAP and present her with the forged/fraudulant documents and ask for our bosses immediate termination and if this is not done within 1 week then we (nurses) will report the agency for Medicare and Medicaid fraud.
We are all afraid of losing our jobs and the harm it would have on our patients.
any advice would be greatly appreciated
