Manager is emailing my personal email address

[koalafiedRN]

I am a travel nurse and I gave my nurse manager my email address thinking that she would just send me my schedule. Turns out she uses that to email me anything and everything from sending me a picture of the break room stating that we have no maid service to letting me know that I Made a medication error. Which brings me to my point. She sent me an incident report asking me to respond to my error through my personal email address. It had the patient's name and everything. Is this considered a violation since my email is not secure?

I think from now on I will never give out my email again. I thought it would just be for my schedule. I have only worked there a couple weeks and have received over 40 emails.

You can always tell who has a lot of time on their hands by the sheer volume of emails they feel compelled to send.

Hard to believe they don't have hospital email, that is a huge slippery slope. Many places will not even let you access your hospital email at home.

You have good advice to just state to the manager that you are not comfortable with what she did. What email is she sending it from, is it her personal account?

And most hospital emails include the institutions name and end in .org so you know if it is a personal account or not.
