False reporting to BON

Nurses General Nursing

Published

Hello everyone!

I am a new graduate and sit for NCLEX next week. It was brought to my attention today that a former classmate who is very mentally unstable has made a report against me to the BON for harassment.

I befriended this girl because she is "different" and always seemed to have health issues or to be going through some crisis. Looking back it was likely do to wanting attention.

After some Facebook drama she created I decided to delete her and the next thing I know she is making false accusations that I would call her names and text her nasty things. Apparently she has been saying this to teachers and mentors as far back as 6 months ago. Which is disturbing because I cut ties with her only 2 days ago.

Im scared because I have never been mean to her and certainly never harassed her. I was always supportive and encouraging. I feel like she believes the lies she's telling.

She has made statements about her being suicidal and hearing voices etc.

This girl is mentally unstable and practicing as a nurse. AND accusing me of harassing her.

How do I go about handling this?

Do I contact the BON?

Do I ignore this?

feeling very concerned ... If she can do this to her fellow classmates what is she capable of doing to a patient who says something to upset her?

She is the woe is me type. Always had a crisis going on. Cancer one day.. Celiac disease the next... Sons foot was broken the next... Etc etc

Specializes in NICU.
The teachers babied her..... Knew she was full of it and let her continue. They could have removed her from the program but chose to keep her. Concerning because everyone knows she is capable of really harming someone

It sounds very obvious to me that she has a diagnosis with a disability of some sort. They were probably giving her accomodations. You wouldn't have been privy to that info.
