as we all know or better learn , psych is a very litagous nursing specialty. i am ancc certified since 1995 with 11 years of service, a huge pt. and staff advocate, have an excellent work history, always pick up ot to avoid manadation for my coworkers, and have never had an open complaint on my license.
recently, i was 1 of 3 rn's that was involved in a prn med error during an urgent intervention, a dr. was involved as well. i was not the nurse that administered the wrong med but was the only one of the 3 who got unreasonable punishment (note: i'm the union president & steward). the employer gave the other rn's a written warning but suspended me and turned me into the state board of nursing, "***"?? and you know the dr. got nothing. i am fuming with anger but realize the board will look at the employer as an idiot for wasting their time if they have to investigate. the issue is, now i have to suffer through the "process". i'm about to leap off a tall cliff , per say, and exit stage left on my own accord. i feel like i'm in an abusive relationship with this employer and simply wont tolerate it any longer. anybody been there? done that? please help!
