the family had nothing to do with it. the reason why the cops/csi came was because the kind of break, and the pt died that day at the hospital like 2 hrs later after falling. well i do feel a lot better now, it was a freak accidnet and i have to accept that, there was nothing i could have done. the facility is protecting me too, and my license is safe.

hi everyone, im a LVN in a LTC facility, i work nights 11-7, and have been an LVN for a year and a half already. i have a mix of long-term patients and rehab/short-term patients. i recently had a patient fall, and he ending up dying of a C4, and C5 fracture of his neck, at the hospital. i have dealt with a lot of falls , but never anyone dying of a neck fracture. it ended up being a coroners case, and the police/CSI came to my facility to asked questions. im freaking out, and wonder if this is rountine protocol. PLEASE HELP.

23.50 LVN in CA with a year of experience working at a long term care facility, hope this helps.
