Very small office and the office manager has everyones passwords and logins. This supervisor has worked for this company for a long period of time and is known to be very sneaky.

I believe you are correct. There is no telling what else they have done that I don't know about. I need to find an attorney that can help protect me so I can report this behavior to the appropriate intentities.

I'm really not positive that she is aware of what has happened while being out. My supervisor made changes to my employment to where I no longer work on the Home Care side and only for the Hospice side without even discussing it with me. She is no longer my superviser,but I am still with the same company. She knows I know too much, but she doesn't know I know this information that I am aware of. I am doing what I can to make some changes in my employment.

This is exactly what i'm afraid of. It's so sad that people get away with this type of behavior. I know the right thing to do is report this and expect them to be punished, but at the same time I also know that people like this wouldn't hesitate to try and make life a living nightmare. I'm not sure what type of attorney deals with these types of issues.

I have searched my local nursing board but I havent had much luck at all finding the answer. We all know how quickly pts can die when on Hospice. One of my concerns is that what if that pt died that evening on Monday and i've signed off stating they were still living, or I am out due to accident or illness on Tuesday. So many things tell me it's not appropriate, but I am one who needs to see it in writing of what's legal and what's not. I value my license and the people I take care of. Thank you

I need some guidance in whom I need to report some questionable behaviors at the workplace. We had a RN out on FMLA. Our direct supervisor at this Home Health company told 2 nonlicensed personnell to use that nurses login and password and go in and sign off on over 1000 coordination notes. I live in Texas. I was the Palliative Care nurse for this company and worked both the Hospice and Home Health sides. When I brought up other questional behavior I all of a sudden was treated like an enemy. I went in to work one morning and looked at my schedule to find my Palliative Care patient was no longer on my schedule. I was the only Palliative Care nurse at this office. When I questioned what happened to my pt I was told a new RN would be going out to do her Recertification but not as a Palliative Care pt, she would be a Home Health pt. This pt had been hospitalized with a decline in status the prior week. A few days later I received an email from our regional manager stating she has turned in all the appropriate doccumentation for me to no longer be shared by Home Health and Hospice because of an "incident" involving me. I was then a fulltime RN CM for the Hospice side. I asked for explanation regarding the alledged "incident" but never have recieved a response. The nurse that went out to Recert the pt was a nurse I would not check off while I was her preceptor because I felt she was unsafe. Once I stated I would not sign off on her I started being treated very different and that nurse wouldn't speak to me after that. I feel like I have been bullied and discriminated against with this company but I don't know what to do about it. Advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'm a RN Case Manager with a Texas Hospice organization. We have our IDG meetings every week. One week will be for the South side and the next week will be for the NOrth side. All of these meetings occur on Tuesdays excluding holiday days then we choose another day. My concern is that we are made by upper management to fill out and sign off on our IDG doccumentation on Monday by 1400, which is a day before our actual IDG meeting. I feel very uncomfortable signing off a day ahead of the actual meetin. I have others tell me i'm right by questioning the signature date being before actual meeting, and when I question my ED and immediate supervisor all they say is " it is required and expected to be done the day before IDG so the MD can sign off on them on Tuesday during the meeting. Am I worrying for nothing or should I be concerned? I can't find any doccumentation stating it's okay to sign the day before. Please advise.
