Hi colleagues. So I am currently on mandatory quarantine. Thank you all for the contribution you've given on the thread. I'll definitely let yall know how the meeting goes. Just to answer some questions 1) we are classed as essential staff so we aren't allowed to unionize 2) Whats unique to my case is that there are witnesses to the med pass as well as camera footage. These were all disregard. However I received a fone call from my nursing manager and since im such a carry my heart on my sleeve kinda person she knew that I was upset and I obviously told her how I felt and how procedure wasn't followed, etc. Not long after that they called in the other nurse witnesses which obviously gave their side of the story in support of seeing me pass meds. So just like they told me, they told my colleague to write an incident report ofcourse but to take her time, as much as she needs, its no rush (which basically means dont even bother). 4) I actually like where I work and the people I work with safe for those 3 that try and get me down but I'm a fighter and I sure as hell am not going to go down without a record. Fortunately, HR is fair and they take a very neutral position in these kinds of situations. 5) As for the other previous issues, yall would be so shocked if yall knew what those were but im not going to go into them. We don't have HIPAA here so we are allowed to make copies of records, however they should exclude patient details such as name, Id number, dob, etc. These can be used as evidence as long as its within the confines of the healthcare setting and keeping with local patient confidentiality laws. 6) I am still going to persue a meeting with them soon, already informed them, so that I can get all of these issues off my chest before it turns into resentment. I will keep yall posted Thank you all once again. It's a shame that we to fight such battles while trying to do the best for your patients and community

It has and each time they tried to attack me I had all my ducks in a row which would get them to back off. It went as far as deleting recording, luckily I took pictures of my the notes I made and showed them during the accusations and that really caught them off guard. I've spoken to my unit manager and she advised me to not go to HR as it will lead to me being bullied further by the nurse managers and where I work we aren't allowed to unionize

Hi Everyone. I've been an RN for 2 years now. I was recently accused of not passing meds by my nursing manager. They tried involving HR but HR was totally uninterested in it as the num didn't have any evidence. I of course was called in by the num and I gave details of the night in question. After all was said and done, I was vindicated. What frustrates and anger me is that she did not follow procedures regarding the issue like calling in witnesses (colleagues that were on duty with me that night), reviewing camera footage or checking the prescription. When I asked her why she didn't do those things she shrugged her shoulders and asked me to write an incident report. I am not happy about the incident because I know it stems from them being bullies and trying to victimize me because I don't eat their poop. This probably the 4th time this happens. I would really like to have a meeting with them and tell them how I really feel about all of this. My question is do yall think this is a good Idea and should I approach the HR and tell them that I'm being victimized. Thank you for your input ❤️
