I agree with your comment about if all nurses could stick together, we could make a change. Can you imagine how working conditions would be if the entire nursing profession stuck together. If we stood as one and didn't put up with the hospital politi...

I have also had to put my patients meds in my lab coat pocket during emergent situations. When you are running the halls with a cup full of medicines and you see a patient getting out of bed or getting ready to fall, you have to help them. Actually ...

I couldn't afford a attorney either. I actually put the retainer fee on my credit card and I am so glad I did. After my attorney did all communication with the board, everything was dropped. I also received most of my retainer fees back. These progra...

Your lawyer response to this situation is concerning. The lawyer you choose should be experienced with the board of nursing. This should be your attorneys specialty. Choose a attorney that has a history of dealing with healthcare professionals. If a ...

A drug test will prove that you haven't taken any drugs. I would get a hair and urine. If you are notified by the board, the drug tests will help to clear your name. This was the first thing my attorney told me to do. I did not have to talk to the bo...

Please do not talk to anyone, especially from the board of nursing without a attorney present. I have heard of the board taking longer then a year to notify nurses of complaints. My advice is to get a attorney now. They will deal with everything with...

Agree with above post. I would leave this alone. This is between him and the board. If he did lie they will find out eventually. Really this is none of your business or your coworkers.

Luckily I have never worked at a facility that charged staff to park. With the amount of money the hospital system makes it is crazy that they would charge their own employees to park.

Just reading this and I hope you are doing OK. It sounds like your place of employment is accusing you of diversion. Please get a attorney immediately to protect your rights.
Totheendandback replied to Anna0029's topic in General Nursing
My advice is find another job immediately and don't look back. Noone should stay at a facility that would do this to them. You do not owe them anything especially since they have treated you this way.

I agree with above post. Please do not talk to anyone about this, especially your current coworkers. You will need to get a attorney that has experience with the board. The attorney will recommend that you take drug tests, hair and urine. You will ne...

Congratulations on getting the help that you need. Please do not tell them you are a nurse. I believe in some states the hospital will call and report you if you tell them. I have heard of this happening to other nurses.

Unfortunately I think this happens alot. Some employees start gossip and it spreads. Sorry this is happening to you. I was falsely accused also and once those accusations are out there it spreads like a wildfire. If you have found a new job stay t...

So sorry you are going through this. Remember you are not alone. This site offers lots of encouragement and good advice.
If you have to meet with them without your attorney, please be careful. Also, they pull your prescription history ahead o...

So sorry that you are going through this. I am sure they will try and get you to say you are guilty, DO NOT ADMIT TO ANYTHING. When they call you trying to get you to confess, tell them that you are innocent, and if they are going to accuse you of ...

I am very sorry this is happening to you. The same thing happened to me. I was completely innocent but a few nurses at my old place of employment did not want to believe it. These nurses would spread lie after lie and it always got back to where I ...
