Nurse with anger management issues/bipolar

[nancynurse009]

I am afraid to even write this. There is a nurse that scares me. He yelled at the charge nurse one day and she had some of the other staff walk her out to the parking lot so he would not hurt her after the shift. He has these explosive yelling matches with people for giving a bad report. A fellow co-worker made the comment "I would not be surprised if he came into work one day and shot the place up". He has posted patient information on facebook and gotten written up for each of these incidences but the hospital has done nothing. He is bi-polar and it is possible that he is taking the wrong med or not all of his meds (I still have not seen bipolar patients act like this) Everyone at work is afraid of him. No one will turn him into the board because they are afraid of what he would do to them. How does one turn a nurse like this into the board? What kind of evidence is needed. If I am the only one coming forward will the other staff be called in to talk? This scary nurse is about to get his nurse practitioners license and I am afraid that he is going to hurt someone!!!

Thank you for any help or advice that you have to offer.

Are you a MD? You are diagnosing him with bi polar? Be careful diagnosing people without proper credentials.

Does that dx require an MD?

He has shared this information, I am not diagnosing. He also talks in the break room to his wife on the phone about how he needs to get on new medication because he is not able to work well.
