No photo of video was taken of any resident. I would never. Only shows patient yelling for help while the door was closed as I taped from the outside & the CNA was asleep behind the curtains. This will be anonymous only. No documentation was taken & the video is unknown by anyone else besides myself. Just a video showing neglect I was going to send to the boards & have them further investigate on their own without saying a word.

im a male nurse and I have been employed at my hospital for 5 1/2 years now. A month ago, I saw that a patient was screaming for help (he was not my patient) and I over heard the CNA telling him (he's alert & oriented by the way) that he needs to be quiet before she closes the door on him (he is bed bound) sure enough, he kept yelling and when I came back I saw that his door was closed and the CNA was asleep on a patients room right next door. I was disgusted so I took a video of him crying for him, that he couldn't breathe and to open the door.. I then captured the lazy & heartless CNA asleep in the patients room , behind the curtains all together. I wanted to report it but where I work at, the upper management likes to keep things hush. I'm still sadden by this & that CNA continues to verbally abuse patients & no one bates an eye. I want to make a stop to it but I fear they may come after me as a result. So, instead I want to report it anonymously by sending this video to the cna boards & so on anonymously. What should I do? Would it get traced back to me? Is this wrong? I need advice. Thank you.
