I know of a woman, who is a CNA at a nursing home.
She has dated two known drug addicts.
The first one has a long criminal history.
The second one's drug dealer is being sentenced this week.
I really fear for the patients safety as she is around hard drugs. Im not talking about petty marijuana I am talking about FELONY charges!
I have called the elderly abuse hotline, and they told me to call the public health, which I did and filed a complaint.
I have let the place know anon through mail.
I have also placed a complaint to the Department of Professional regulation which is like the IL board of nursing.
Did I do the right things?
Is it too early for popcorn? Should we pass a platter of yummy hotcakes instead?
OP please explain how someone dating a person who may use/deal drugs is going to hurt a patient if they themselves are not using? You have *no* proof this CNA is under the influence.
And yes I am a liberal, and no, I do not use drugs.

I hope the information that I gave them prevents elderly abuse, and if she is coming in from second hand or first hand drug intoxication, then I did do the right thing. Merely giving someone information is not official.
