Agree. I found at the job I just had to absolutely RUN from for my saftey. Most of the employees become nurses for money reasons. NOT pt care. While I know the systems are changing and ultimately money is important I do Beleive Pt care and outcomes are why a human would get into nursing in the first place. I get the big world and how it works but if you simply don’t care don’t do it. Sounds the case. I keep seeing these people who will outright say I just want money, a raise, to step abc and not care at all about nursing.

You did your job. Wouldn’t want anything to do with that place good relationship or not. Not protected ever. Bottom line what happend if you couldn’t go in? Do they use you for DON coverage? I

First off, it IS falsifying medical records. Weather it be a mistake, honest or NOT. Bottom line. It is an error that can be proven with mailiousuud intent even if it is NOT. Similar, my boss was trying to “set” me up. New roll out lots of charting errors I made known to boss. Her explanation is “computer thing is a mess” they are “fixing it”. Well, I charted a Med early by 30 minutes said I am scared to death I will forget to chart also no no. next, Boss gets 1x order says solve the lronem for the early charting and chart next dsy. I told her we didn’t need to have a x 1 since I would error in chart correct time in comment on EMAR. Also short staffed 10 people asking things u name all of it was happening. Went to HR, never got back to me. Thursday evening 9 pm message in my phone come talk to me. Friday at noon, meet in HR we have some serious concerns that you falysified someone’s record. Proven wrong, nothing missing, or needed this Med per my assessment on top of having CNA refuse to input vital signs and never put in, hapoens Dailey under new horrible rushed snd not about later computer roll out no one is complete distend in their charting things being missed. Remeber I reported this. I was asked to resign or be fired. My boss lied out her ***, beenfheir fir a long time it is like a cult mob, so I am of 4 years seniority which is nothing their. Boss got all her “friends” to verbally say they heard me say I ha es Med early and that was that. I resigned scariest thing I have ever witnessed. Malicious, suspicious, not willing to educate, unavailable for questions on purpose at that time my boss pulled a fast one for her buddies to agree. All verbal never been warned nothing in chart excellent reviews. So Beleive me when I say this Watch out. I did nothing wrong and got dragged through the ugly line of lateral violence and blame. Falsifying a chart is board reportable. My work thr wanted to report me. They can look into it they will see every single person on my unit has done the same it is a “culture” and the process is broken in this sick system. I would spend forever in court snd have no desire and hired an atorney snd have insurance ans always will now. I worked at a major hospital for 10 years with no room for questions regarding this, unchart error. Not to scare anyone I am sure she made a mistake people are human. If u are wise watch your back now. Maybe she didn’t realize it is a big deal bud hopefully she does now Becuse I certainly learned my lesson snd I didn’t even flashy another persons name I am entirely traumatized and literally getting out of healthcare for a while Becuse it I just resigned. They can still screw you in that too, say u were fired. A mess. Be careful sometimes honest people are the ones who go down in flames.

You did what you were asked. Then more. I have a question. What happens things went missing during hat time? Do you thrn become responsible for those missing thing? Hospital property, meds, anything?

Sounds like your stuck. I was in that position. I get it job, great relationships. Commute. Understood. You are now upset, can not even Beleive your eyes and a victim of something that probably is “norm” happens often and should be looked at by the DON. People *** their mouths out of fear. You did what was right and what you agreed too. It is a shame that humans vow to take care of other humans and neglect, abandon, the list goes in. The Nurse showed poor moral character, bad judgement, neglect, and abandoned duties and that is sad. I am positive this isn’t “new” first time and those CNA good job for them. Most people don’t report out of fear. So sad.

I am sorry. Awful experience. I can tell you it does happen. DON came in middle of night found staff in patients empty beds fast asleep, staff gone. The stores go on. It is scary.

It is a hospital.

You did your job. Wouldn’t want anything to do with that place good relationship or not. Not protected ever. Bottom line what happend if you couldn’t go in? Do they use you for DON coverage? if you couldn’t get to site…. Then what? You? Liable? Very sneaky, twisted sick systems. What is the policy for that? They call you? Do they have others too they can call if no DON? Weird and I would cut ties, period. People will find a way to drag, twist snd turn. You did right, pt saftey first then reported that. Howver turns into a massive hunt to blame. Can’t they call the police insight if missing “persons”. Leaving the bulging not permitted usually at night. Least around here it is. Either way Pt saftey snd care was compromised and awful to hear. Awful. I

The CNA most likely got fed up with it. Imagine how long he’s been doing that? Why was she looking for a a nurse? Did anything happen to patients? How sad! Disgusting! ***We even have staff that says they go out on break , they gone for 2 hours and “no one seems to know anything”. Staff impaired, nothing done, we actually had a staff overdose at the nurses station on an ETOH and Detox dual diagnosis unit. Somehow jacho never came for that. I tend to wonder if risk management ever notified. Sick system, and everyone is “friends” so long as your “in” then supervisor picks and chooses who they will protect. I am staying out of healtcare for a year now I need a break.

Update. It is eveident I do not fit the culture at my workplace. the accusations brought about forth were humiliating, defaming, harassing, FALSE! Union fighting it. I never seen a more uncomfortable unprepared boss in my entire life. Who steps she has witnessed theirbwere none!! A drifter and one of her best friends of 25 years of working together. So it is evening my boss is nervous and unprepared with all hearsay BS. I couldn’t beleive my ears. I will be pursing state level charges and have documentation of them all. Hired my own lawyer Becuse thi my union reporesented me he too was unprepared. No Med error occurred…. All that came out of this mess. TY lesson to never ever work hard mentality and sacrifice charting for patient care due to short staffing. My boss had no freaking idea who was in charge snd that we were indeed short staffed and lunches were altered and that indeed is an issue in itself snd sets the example of how this unit is going down the tubes to be haptic and dangerous while she chats about life all day in the back thrn takes her other job as clinical instructor and works while we are on shift causing her to be further unfocused from her job. List is so long and sad and never ever in my wildest dreams imagine the lies that we’re said and I can never turn Becuse of that scary and never experienced this ever 100 great reviews now my work performance is bad? Bahahahah! Joke.

What if you have your pre reqs I can move for comical dates or fly in were is this located?

Hello, I have a similar issue I can’t seem to “start” a thread . Howver hope someone will see this. 1.) My pharmacy called me at 2:45 demanded I didn’t chart an Aitvsn 1MG for CIWA proton. I did I saw it my boss saw it and I said I don’t know what to say. I’ll call u back I had a lost note needed handing in, 4 pts at the desk and of COURSE the ONLY NURSe of 4 working. All are chatting about their weekend in the back shirt staffed by 1 to begin with. Lunches were altered and Neither if the med room nurses looked at their assignment and assumed their lunches were like the same as they were for the last 30 years they have been enjoyed same unit same place type deal. I called out for help , I was told no I am taking. I’ve asked the boss who confirmed that indeed this Ativan was charted. However , the pharmacy questions 1.) why I took it out( no no) and were is it why didn’t I wast “it”? I stated I don’t I have it to thr patient. Ohrch further demanded, I mean demanded that I fix my issue now. I can’t fix an issue that I didn’t have. I did chart he med. I charged it early but didn’t give it for another 45 minutes due to tasks and help and lunches etc. I went back to look. I charged a med early. I took out and Ativan at 1310 and then again 1345 a half our after. I did that so on my way to lunch I could get vitals and give this man what he needed. That was one hour and 15 minutes later putting me in proper protocol. This man was sick as dog needs q1 he Ativan Because he didn’t have a 2 MG CIWA like he needed. I went to charge nurse and MD several times. Documented that. I was asking for this change, and with fail it did not happen so I gave him 1 mg every hour per protocol , to cover my *** and this poor pt. It ppears I gave it early and took it out. I didn’t I charted it in fear I would forget Becuse I was going straight to lunch a get idea it going down this mans throat. I knew with us having a 1 hour lunch which is silly, that he would be possibly DT risk. The pharmacy forceful ly rude screaming, ASUMES that I gave that Ativan too early by 26 minutes. Reality is I took the med out had it in my hand Becuse I had no help and 4-5 requests and said I know no one Weill help this man on my 1 hour lunch which BTW I never even got. By the time I got back to the man gave the Ativan it was 2:10 I then went out fir 15 minute break. So here, the pharmacy calls me and DEMANDs I fix a charting issue when I indeed had charted it and the error reallly is I charted it before I gave it,it took such a long time to actually give it to the PT. Pharmacy director is discriminatory and after me and treats me like NO other employee almost as if he audits me and looks for issues he can pick on me about. But that’s an issue of discrimination for another day. My manager : I said can u please help me u saw I charted the Ativan the pharmacist is saying I didn’t she is my witness’s. Then the issue now became oh it “was too early”what else am to do? I changed the time to the time it was given. Which is allowed and done often at my place of work even this Should never happen and to me is fraud but often morning meds run late so have to change the time. Moving on, my Manager suggests I get a 1x order from the DOC while she sits and fools around with other employees and talks about covid positive on another unit with another nursing instructor she knows from a college VS helping me in any way at all. She says get a 1x order from MD. I told her I didn’t need one I need to change my time to correct time. No scanners here folks. After 6 pages 49 minutes, and calls Dr called back I explain I don’t need it but the pharmacy and my boss demanding it. He puts it in, I chart it. I am about to go to HR and get fired 1.) my boss is lazy and knows nothing, 2.) I did I don’t need one and should have said no I changed the time all mistakes Becuse my boss failed to listen, I N turned questioned what was the right thing to do which would be change the time and make it what it was. I failed by listening to her! My boss was angry she had to get up of her lazy butt to do anything but socialize with her buddies in the chart room. All other nurses doing the same in the chart room, no staff, short staff, mislead by my boss who said get a x 1order. So thr med never made it to the PT, until maybe 1.5 hours later within protocol but I made an errors charted too early out of fear I would forget at all due to workflow short staffed and no damn help or lazy nurses who entirely don’t do their own work and dump on me, I see my fault. We don’t have scanners, so when I chart a med I should wait. The pharmacy would still have an outstanding Ativan for their “report” which should be fine until th shift ends at 3:30 to begin with. So Becuse the pharmacy wanted to clear their slate at 2:45. And demand to know things none of their Work descriptions for their narcotics report and hand it in early or something? They decided lI took Ativan out 39 minutes apart Assume things and now I’m screwed. . Assumed I gave it To the ot is disgusting, I in fact didn’t for god another 45 minutes. minutes! I change the time to correct time. My boss says not good enough doesn’t listen or care says, get 1x order and dumps me down a rabbit hole And going to HR to be fired for getting a 1x dowse after the fact when indeed as I stated to her and all I didn’t need one to begin with. She threw me under a bus to save herself when she never listened in the first place or misunderstood everything I said on top of pharmacy’s phone calls, shift notes list a new computer system in which I’ve worked on before but most others in my building have not. In fact most people here is the only place they ever worked and know no other real rules and laws workplace stuff than one PLACE.! In fact over the last three weeks I’ve counted 26 medications just for one nurse NOT charged including opiates. Never said a word, now all of a sudden Itkse out a med early and I am a criminal. This seems and I know it is unfair treatment. Harassment by pharmacy, and hostile workplace environment by aforementioned boss who picks and chooses who to listen too. I made a mistake and listened to a boss who’s clueless and got a 1x dose after the fact. I admit that in fact I told her he didn’t need it. She didn’t care said in sst diem keot discussing food, pictured covid s they have nothing to do with my unit to another instructed she was friends with and other nurses vs taking any time to help me. Or she had to get up she was mad and that’s how it all went down leading me to HR to be fired still in progress I am out in stress leave I went out Cuse I sm beside myself. I didn’t need and even verbally told the doctor that order was bogus and didn’t understand it. What should I do? I am indeed for some reason being discriminated against and can prove it. my boss is taking me to HR over the very thing she suggested and demanded I do. Set up? Or set up to fail? Feedback is so appreciated.
