I am a pretty honest person...and know that I handled the situation less than professionally...I wish I could have a redo for just 5 minutes. However, it is what it is, and I just hope that everything that I have worked so hard for isn't gone because of one unfortunate lapse in forethought

I e-mailed okhealthlawyers yesterday. Will call Monday. And will check out the other site as well.I am so glad that I posted on this site. You have all been so helpful. Thank you all so much!!

Thank you OKchug...I will definately check that out

Heidigosique: I am not sure how to e-mail on here. My e-mail is [email protected]. I would greatly appreciate any advice I can get. Thank you all for your wise advise and sincere support

To the best of my knowledge, the other nurse was not disciplined. Report was written down. Every time I tried to explain that she wouldn't let me talk. I really wish I had just walked away...what a mess. A detail I left out is that when I did leave...I was called (by the police) to come back, so i was gone for 30 minutes. When I got back she had the red mark...not sure she did when I left. Not makin this up...the girl is not that mentally stable. Recently was in rehab or mental health facility for nervous breakdown. Not judging...just saying

Thank you for all your support. I really can't afford an attorney, but I will call around.

I am a fairly new nurse and have been working at a nightmare of a nursing home. I was working the6a-6p shift. The nurse that was supposed to relieve me came in an hour and a half late. When I tried to leave, she was on the phone, but told me I couldn't leave without giving her report. I told her to hang up the phone so I could give her report. She didn't, so I attempted to take the phone out of her hand. A screaming match ensued. The ADON was called. The other nurse called the police, and i was placed under a citizens arrest (Not going on my record, I am told by the officer). The other nurse had a red mark on her neck, supposedly from where I grabbed the phone. The nursing home is turning me over to the board. I have only been a nurse for 6 months. I only wanted to get home to my kids. I never agreed to work late. What can I do? Am I going to lose my license?
