could get fired!

[RNmoms]

Nervous, my daughter is a very good nurse and after 6 months on the job got a really good raise. However, the other night a male nurse was really busy and he asked my daughter if she would take a test for his other nurse friend because she didn't finish and is on vacation and the test was due by midnight. Erin tried to help out and said yes, and he gave her this other nurses codes and passwords. Well, my daughter got caught and was yelled at. Now she is worried she will be fired. Does anyone know if this has ever happened before to anyone and do you think she will get fired. she is so mad at herself. she knows better.

Why is "the daughter" not here asking us?

Who cares if it's a "male nurse" who asked?

Because mommy can solve this

Fired, probably. She is a "good" nurse who doesn't know not to do the right thing? What this looks like is that she is not trustworthy and that is a bad quality to have in a nurse. side note- What is with all the parents asking questions about careers for their adult children? Is it just the helicopter in them that can't let go (doing it without the kid knowing) or are these kids so inept at adulthood that their parents have to help them with everything? I make my elementary age kids fight their own battles and step in as needed (obviously I handle the adult stuff) But, if you want an adult child who doesn't know how to be an adult....

I think it is because it is so easy now to interact and research things on the internet. As a parent you worry, and it is fast and easy to go on a forum to get anwers. I shudder to myself when I think of how my mother would have been had she lived long enough to monitor me through the internet.

OP - I think you have your answer. I am sure this is very stressful for you. I hope everything turns out for the best.

My own young adult child is beginning a career in healthcare. I would want him to be terminated for this. Yes, for real.

If one cannot figure out the multiple reasons not to do this, nor have the backbone to refuse ... one is not a "good nurse", and not equipped to manage the responsibilities of nursing.

"She knows better" but did it anyway? She deserves to be fired for violating facility policy that forbids sharing of passwords/login information, taking a test for someone else, and poor judgment. Everyone involved deserves to be fired for sharing passwords/login information.

Also, if your daughter is a nurse, she is an adult. Let her make her own mistakes and learn from them. You can't fix all of her problems for her.

[BuckyBadgerRN, ASN, RN]

Well, she SHOULD be. Violated about 9 things there. Certainly not a move made by a reasonably intelligent professional

[BuckyBadgerRN, ASN, RN]

Blowing smoke up Mommy's (OP) backside isn't helpful. She asked for opinions on the situation. It's an unpleasant situation that the DD created, the responses aren't going to necessarily be pleasant!

Edit: can't say anything nice don't say anything

Wondering what the outcome was?

[ProgressiveActivist, BSN, RN]

You say she got caught.

How? How many people were aware that she was taking the test for someone else?

If she's lucky she'll only be suspended.

The OP says,she got caught and got yelled at...

[BuckyBadgerRN, ASN, RN]

Yeah, IF her special snowflake is giving her the whole story. I shake my heads at parents like this. Daughter is NOT a good nurse if she willingly violates policies that we all know she signed off on.

The OP says,she got caught and got yelled at...

[CBlover, BSN, RN]

I can't stand posts like this that leave us all hanging. OP? Where are you? Can you update or comment at least?

I agree I think Mom did not get the answer she wanted.
