https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6716575/ old article but relevant. Nurses don't eat their young. It's a nurses eat nurses. Any profession may put you in a place of being bullied unfortunately. From personal experience, every job I have had as a RN I've experienced bullying from different ages, races/ethnicities, genders, and positions. I have been undermined to the point of being terminated from a CNA who placed a needle and IV catheter in a PT's bed that already had a cvc, was never attempted to have an IV inserted, and had all medications running by gtt or via ogt. She went so far as to place syringes and IV insertion kits inside my lunch bag and state she saw me putting them in there when she was looking for me. Then another nurse who is part of her "clique" was informed (my assumption as they began speaking in their native language) and that RN told me she found medications at the bedside for my pt and she sent them to pharmacy to review if they were documented as administered. I hadn't left any medications nor administered any to that pt yet, but those medications were in the cassette for the pt not the Pyxis and she just placed them there (again this is what I gather because I saw them in the beginning of my shift and knew I had medications at 0900 and 1000 so was going to do them at 0900 and it was only 0815). Nursing is getting more and more toxic. Protected yourself and your license. Don't engage with hostile people. Let them be. Do your job and focus on patients and quality care and let others be. Stay strong and we all need to work together respectfully.

Sorry but again it's obvious they don't belong to you. Drive home by yourself? HA HA HAHAHA you weren't impaired...you were targeted

It would be ridiculous for the BRN/BON to even justify results like this without being admitted. Letting you drive home?? it is a serious breach of medical duty. EMTALA violation ( if you are in the U.S.), plus major potential negligence or patient abandonment depending on the circumstances I guess. Coming from a legal standpoint first things that should be completed—Airway protection and stabilization—IV fluids, thiamine, glucose, electrolytes—Benzodiazepines for cocaine-induced agitation, hypertension, or seizures—Continuous cardiac monitoring due to arrhythmia/MI risk—admit to ICU if unstable. Definitely not to go home let alone drive yourself. If they failed to provide that it would not only be clinically unsafe but also a legal violation (on top of EMTALA, negligence, malpractice). this is absolutely mind blowing...it would be hard to believe those results belong to you... YOU NEED TO REPORT THE PROVIDER AND THE FACILITY! give updates id like to know how things turned out for you. My best wishes and hope for you to preserve your livelihood. RNs don't deserve this. The BRN I hope is more intelligent than even considering this plausible ha ha ha. But who knows
