Nursing Law

I recently had a situation on night shift. I believe the charge nurse allowed a ward clerk with no license to start a foley on a pt with dementia. I am not certain of this because I did not see it. I reported this concern to my house supervisor. What do I do? How do I protect myself?

    If you have no proof and did not witness the situation, what did you report? I would be more concerned about making false accusations without evidence.

    What would you need to protect yourself from? You have no direct knowledge of the situation and you reported your suspicions up the chain of command.

    Today's reflection:

    By spreading rumors about my coworkers with no proof and not talking with them directly as my concerns I have:

    A: Contributed to the advancement of the nursing by conducting myself as a professional, or

    B: Contributed to the detriment of nursing by inserting myself into a situation where I did not have all of the information I needed to contribute in a professional manner.
