Recently I was put on "suspension pending on-coming investigation following an unwittnessed fall in your fall." My patient was in front of me at nurses station as she is a fall risk because she constantly tried to get up from her chair when she physically can't anymore. I noted she was urinated so I took her to her room and asked the first aide i saw down the hall if she would her resident be changed as she was wet, cna clearly stated "no, I have to do something else." I told the resident give me a few seconds while I get someone to help dont get up, she understands for the most part but does have Hx of cog. Def., I walked out of room yo find my other aides and they were both giving a bed bath, so then I helped the aide that told me no to pass out lunch trays so she can go help resident, then I ended up helping another patient with a complaint on her food. I went to dining room to fix it and a cna went yo get me because my patient was on the floor. I went, supervisor was already there along with another nurse. I got xrays to rule out any fx as she was laying on her side against foot rest. Came back a fx rib that family was saying was old. The incident was reported to state and I was suspended while the aide that told me no is still working. I know I should have just stayed at bedside or changed resident myself, but can someone give me their input. Our administrator doesn't back up the nurse's at all in any which way. Something happens that was out of our control at times and its automatically out fault and nurses get fired. Same incident happened almost exactly similar and the nurse was never suspended nor reprimanded in any way. Im just really scared for my license and job. This isn't fair.
