I used facebooks private messaging systems that says it’s encrypted from end to end. I then deleted all messages I sent after the conversation. I did screenshot the messages before deleting for proof to the investigator that I did have this persons permission to leave work and did not in fact abandon my patient.

So back story a previous employer reported me to the BON for “abandonment” cause I quit my job. Well I was contacted by the BON for an investigation and I was able to contact the employee who gave me permission to go home that day on facebook. She doesn’t work there anymore. When asking her about the situation I included the patients first name, I did private duty. Is this a HIPAA violation?

So I was a private duty nurse at a company for almost 2 years. I had put in my 2 week notice and became sick during one of my last shifts. I called the office and told them I was sick and needed to go home. They stated if I brought my patient to the office I could go home. So one of the other nurses that worked in the home showed up because she accidentally took the van we use for transportation keys home. While she was there I asked her if she would be willing to take our patient to the office for me since I was so sick. She agreed to. She clocked in and I called the office and told them she was gonna bring the patient down for me and they stated that was fine. I gave her report and counted the medications and she took the keys from me. I was just contacted by an investigation from the board of nursing saying my employer reported me for abandonment! I don’t see how this could be abandonment but I’m afraid they’re going to take my license away over this. Has anyone been through something similar or have any advice for me? To beat it all the nurse I was working with is actually my friend and even came to work at my new job with me and when I asked her about the situation she has been ignoring me since so now I’m wondering if she also reported me.
