HELP! Threats to call BON!

[Nechic01]

I'm not really sure what to do on this one: Single Female 34 year NP student working my tail off...

I am a full time nurse, also work PRN and I'm in NP school. I placed an ad for a roomate to save money. I pay tuition out of pocket, etc. Purchased my home almost 2 years ago.

I interviewed a middle aged man from the hospital where I'm an NP student and it seemed to be a good roomate fit. He isn't in patient health care services but is a vendor inside the hospital and works for the dietary cafeteria.

He has been living in my home for 18 days. I am rarely home. He begun to call me "baby" and then he started rubbing my shoulders the other day. I was very uncomfortable and let him know, he just ignored it. He also has not paid rent and then hasn't left his room in 6 days. He finally paid rent. I asked him to please leave today, that this just wasn't the right fit, I am uncomfortable around him, etc. He was renting a furnished room.

He demands a refund of his rent due to being angry I asked him to leave.

He threatens to call the BON and tell them I am on drugs and drinking while going to work impaired.

CAN HE DO THIS? WILL THEY INVESTIGATE ME?

All of this is 100% untrue. My finals are coming up, I work full time and then at the school most nights.....I'm panicking at these threats not to mention the stress from this. He says he knows a board member very well and he is going to call her.

Are they truly going to come to my work and investigate? He has never worked with me nor seen me impaired....he's never been a patient of mine, etc. This is all just a bad roomate experience from a creepy middle aged man who is angry I asked him to leave my home.

I cannot find any threads addressing when a lay person just calls the board up and tells them false accusations. He took a picture of a scotch bottle in my liquor cabinet and said this proves I drink and am impaired....utterly ridiculous. It's an opened bottle in my home rarely even used. I'm a normal hard working person, never been in trouble, never failed any drug test or ever gotten a DUI. I've actually never even had a speeding ticket.

I've worked so hard to get to where I am. You have to list on any application if the board has ever investigated you for any reason at all....my work will most likely fire me if there is even an investigation at all. I work f0r the VA government...I had to have security clearance, etc.

HELP!! I can't sleep, my Thanksgiving is ruined with these threats coming through via text.

Lesson learned. Will work 3 jobs and eat Ramen Noodles before ever getting a roomate again....

I think you shouldn't worry. Your record speaks for itself. The facts speak for itself. Those questions on those applications are there to weed out the people who were found guilty. Putting yes just makes them look further into the matter and when they find that the complaint was found to be malicious and baseless and you were not found guilty. It happens. It should be illegal to make false accusations like this. However, the bright side is, if he does report you, you can still sue for slander and defamation.

the board does NOT CARE how stellar your record is. they will search your files as NP and find charting errors they ALWAYS do.

they do not care and have NO common sense at all . they want it to look like they are doing a big job and the more complaints and investigations makes them look better and more important and abuse their power . get a lawyer standing there, and call the cops to get him out today !!

I wouldn't put much stock in his ability to carry out complaint. However, when dealing with the Bd innocence may not always be the best defense as its easy to get blind sided and shocked when you read a complaint. Deny, say and write as little as possible, once the Bd charges you the hiring of an attorney is useless. The AZBON is legally an monotonous dept and when it comes to discipline theyre are as unstoppable as the Medical Mafia and are often closely associated with it. Many regulatory agencies, as well as the AZBON, are being reviewed to be completely overhauled. In the meantime new laws initiating next year will help protect innocent health care workers from these rogue, costly agencies. Screen your roommates.
