Although this may be a "witch hunt" as you say, you should look at your nursing practice laws in your state. As the RN, you are legally responsible for everything that is done (or not done) by eveyone that you supervise, counselors, LPN, CNA, etc. If you feel that the staffing at your facility is putting the patients in jeopardy, you should always write an event report citing the facts and your objection to the staffing. This way, your objections are in writing and if you should find yourself in front of the BON, at least you can defend yourself, Otherwise, you could see yourself in front of the BON and you could lose your license. The other thing that I would do is seek the advice of an attorney. This is a matter that could go to court. .... Nursing, touching lives one heartbeat at a time ....
