How do I tell my boss...
I would not mention it at all, even to save feelings, unless you know 100% that you won't be fired. I informed a manager just so that they could begin looking for a replacement as I knew they had a hard time hiring, and I was immediately let go. I don't understand why as they were already short handed, but it is what it is...

Being Snarky to Get Needed Help
After all of these posts, why are you still at this job? There are tons of opportunities out there. Just move on to something new, hopefully something that won't cause the need to constantly post negatively about your job.

Are you a Nurse just for the money or do you do it from your heart?
What's wrong with doing it just for the cash? That's literally the point of having a job...

Received Letter In Mail About Hospital Lawsuit At Old Job
Hi, there! I work for an attorney's office (we represent the healthcare providers), and I frequently send out these types of letters. You 100% do not have to respond. The people I try to contact usually do not. If my boss thinks it's worth the effort/cost, we will sometimes try to track down the person, but a lot of times we do not. The only way you would be forced to respond is if you are served with a subpoena or receive summons via certified mail, etc. My main advice is that if the letter is stating that you are part of the suit/named as a defendant, I would respond. If they are just looking to talk to you as a witness, you can either respond or just blow it off. Though, blowing it off can result in you being subpoenaed for a deposition down the road. However, since it is the defense attorney, they will normally not subpoena you to take your deposition without talking to you first as they do not want your testimony memorialized without knowing first if you will be detrimental to their case. However, if you want the attempts to contact you to stop, just go ahead and answer it. A lot of times you can just tell the attorney that you do not remember the patient, and that will be the end of it. They would normally not call you as a witness if you do not remember the patient. I say normally because sometimes they will still have you review the records and give testimony based on what you charted. Also, if you left your job on bad terms and aren't worried about saying that to the attorney, tell them for sure. If you have a bad opinion of your employer, they will most likely not use you as a witness as that can be damaging to their case if they think you may bad mouth their client on the stand or in a deposition.

Fishy, illegitimate contract..?
Where on Earth are you getting your information from? To be valid and enforceable, a contract must contain certain elements, none of which are that they be drafted by a lawyer...

Should I divorce my husband
Oh good lord, that's a bit extreme. Finding a situation hilarious that your spouse does not is not emotional abuse. Even married couples can have completely different senses of humor...

Sexual harrassment or just an old creep?
I disagree with this. If she is not interested and wants the behavior to stop, she should be direct about that. Using these excuses, he could take it as his behavior is wanted, but that it needs to be more discreet because others do not like it. Which could likely end up with him cornering her somewhere more private where it would be harder for her to get away if it does actually become sexual harassment.
