Im supposed to me starting my nusing degree in the fall. I am really worried to the point im sittibg here crying. About 2 months ago i decided to watch my great niece to help her parents out as they needed a sitter and i recently quit my job. I did it for free and out of the kindness of my heart. On a monday i got up set the baby who was 3 months old down on the couch to make her a bottle it was in the same room i have an open floor plan. I put her inside her bobby pillow so that in case she rolled she would have to manuever over pillows ans to the beat of my knowledge she was not able to roll scoot yet. While heating the water for her bottle her cry suddenly changed i looked over and could see my 2.5 year old son lifting her up unto another cushion. Mind you he was in another room with his dad when i got up must have heard the microwave. Anywho i grabbed her checked her over and there wasnt a single mark on her body hubby looked her over too. Daddy came a while later and i told him the situation and he looked her over no mark stated accidents happen she can scoot down and she has fallen with me. I watched her until thursday abd didnt notic anything unusual. On the following monday she is brought to me by her parents with a lump on her head squishy at that.i asked what happened and got a vague response I tell the mom she needs to take her to the er. That it could possibly be a skull fracture i have kids ive googled alot of stuff she wasnt going to take her until the bext day i pretty much pleaded that she go. Long story short she goes to er baby suffered a skull fracture and because i am the only one that admits to a possible incident and apparently the dr said to cps it could take days for swellong to show. Cps ivestigates me gets the story i tell them what possibly happened never hear from them again until i get a letter in the mail stating ive been the found to be negligent supervison by reason to believe. The dr apparently stated the baby could have suffered a skull fracture from a fall off the couch. Mind you it was only a possibility i never saw the baby on the ground nor did i see any maks on her. I only stated to the parents as a precaution cause i would want to know. A week later she has lump mind you that appeared when she wasnt in my care. But the dr apparently said it could take that long. Baby made full recovery it was a minor fracture and isnt expected to have any negative after effects. Thank god. But who knows what really happened and i think because i mentioned it that was all that cps focused on. Any how those case findings go on the abuse registry. Am i ever going to be able to be a nurse. No criminal charges or anything. Please help im scared. Before anyone asks i live in texas all the need is a proponderance of evevidence to palce you on the regestry.
