No...there is no respect, the work is taxing, the pay poor, management is degrading, nurses "eat their young" and bicker so much among them self

Would not a lawyer cost more than the possible suspension?

on 2/17 i received a da regarding something that happened in oct 2003...i had never been councelled nor "written up" about it. i work in a state psychiatric hospitial - the charges, "divulging confidential info without proper authority", and hippa. we have a doctors communication books which we leave short notes, i let an pt write a note to the medical dr in his book, i covered any writing and stood side by side as the pt wrote " her own complaints.....divulged conf.info because the communication book contained sensitive and conf. info.about a number of patients on the unit" i admit to poor judgement, but never divulging info. on other patients. for this they want a 10 day susppesion:angryfire the semi-informal hearing is march 18th. i have union representation. any help or suggestions?
