I am currently suspended without pay from my job based on accusations by a coworker for patient safety issues ( mostly charting errors) that she had been keeping track of since early Feb. this year and just turned in all her notes at once, which led my unit manager to turn over to HR. They got my side and are investigating my responses to all accusations. I am the third girl this girl has gone after this year. I have decided to get another job ( i have a feeling the end result of the investigation will be termination, because there were so many things she listed) but my question is, if they report me to the board for charting issues ( errors only, no false documentation) then will the board inform any new employer about any remediation I have to take issued from them? Its the VA ( the new job) and I hate to ruin any chance to have a career with them. I hate that they can tie up my life like this for things I did in error and not intentionally! I am glad however that someone FINALLY gave me a clue that my charting was not up to par so I can fix it...after 5 months...

I feel your pain. Been a nurse for 8 months. I am sick of nurses that eat their young. I have just been suspended without pay because I ticked another nurse off back in January and she has secretly been documenting EVERYTHING she thinks Ive done wrong since then (and had her roomate and cousin do the same) including things like not stocking the room...of course some things were valid, but did not warrant this! she handed the floor manager 5 pages of notes and told her my patients were in danger...if they were in danger, why did she wait so long? Unfortunate I had just found out I was pregnant and had just told the manager the day before they suspended me. I have had to hire a lawyer, but I am screwed because of one person being angry with me. Its insane.
