I have never been in trouble ever with an employer until now. I work Homecare and became really comfortable and said some things I shouldn't have said. A mother of a patient was always talking about everything for 2 hours straight when I arrived at her home. I know her personal life and problems. Well I mentioned another patient I have a baby, vent, trach, g.t, without name or diagnosis but lives in so-so city in another mention of my ride home. This person has gotten a few nurses fired when she gets angry and she is angry with me for mentioning this.
Does anyone know what consequences I should expect when meeting with human resource?
The client is a nutcase looking to take out her anger ( having a sick baby) on anybody and everybody.
Your agency allows this ...and fires nurses for the almighty dollar.
Hard to fathom that you are in hot water for mentioning another client, with the only identifier being the city.
She has gone waaaay too far making phone calls reporting you. ( confirming she is a nutcase)
I would lawyer up and make nutcase knock it off. You should be dumping your money hungry agency that does not support the staff, not the other way around.
Been there,done that, ASN, RN
