Does anyone know how to find specfics on pt. negelience or abdonment. I have been forced into a very bad situation and now the hospital is trying to terminate me d/t theses things. My understanding is that this type of allegation can not be determined until I have gone in front of a board of nurses. Is that wrong???? The new management has been looking for a reason to terminate me, after 15 years of service, and are grasping at straws. I am in a grevience procedure now, but would love some advice. :uhoh3:

Call a labor attorney ASAP. One the works with a lot of nurses. You do not want one that works for a lot of the dr.s or the hsp. it could be a conflict in interest and you want them solely on your side.

You should be able to get the terms and definitions from the BRN in your state. You HR department should also have a definition. Do you have ? Often they will have advocates for you or an attorney you can consult with. Hopefully you have scads of documentation around the behaviors you state about your management and the abandonment situation. Would be able to help more if we had more details.

Unfortunatly I can not provide to many details. I can say, it was not my pt. I was charge nurse that night. That is their whole premis for the termination. This was a nurse with one years of experience, they say that I should have been more involved. When she asked for help, I was there, I checked up on the pt., I provided the nurse with guidance. I also had a pt. of my own. This is a new management team, and for the past 2-3 months I have felt that they were looking for a reason to fire me. I think that they used this situation, blew it out of proportion, and got their way. Hopefully the grievance board sees that this is the situation. :uhoh21:
