Well I now have a formal complai t and cant get a job and I have. Kids but luckily I saved money up but I now have to wait for court to see if they r gonna throw it out

The resident was able to remove the cpap at will and extra equipment wqs left in room at at beside in bedside cabinet and resident was used to serving machine byself before dementia became so severe so whos to say the resident didnt set up mqchin3 with new cpap

Lol so true but the question is how do they take a statement from a dementia pt and hold it up in court

I am a Lpn I worked for a LTC facility. I was reported to the state for not applying a cpap machine to a resident who was a dementia pt who was alert with confusion and was able to remove the cpap at will. The resident was used to applying the machine on there own nightly but due to the dementia resident would remove cpap. The DON of my facility said the machine was serviced by oxygen company on a fri morning and on monday morn when she came back it was still in plastic.I worked 3 to 11 ans am supposed to apply it and 11 to 7 shift an 7 to 3 shift is supposed to moniter it until resident got up.I was fired mon morn for not applying the machine.I applied it all weekend butbit was my word aginst hers she and administrator put in 30 days notice and srarted firing ppl and I was 7.5 mo preg.well im fighting for my license now because of the lies she told I even recorded her firing me I let her know she tgreatened me on tape sayung she was gonna have my license revoked.I also contacted oxygen comp who was supposed to service mschine but they never did.I just dropped a lawyer 3500 to save my but I dont know what to do im a single parent with 3 kids and taking care of my sick mother I cant loose my nursing license for this.also nothing happened to the resident at all nev sent via to hosp no distress just they random picked me
