My thoughts exactly. Working in easing out of the situation .

I have thought about that, I know I have to cover myself no matter what, I just don't want that information in the chart without the whole truth. I am still on the fence about what to do about turning it in the board. I am afraid that will really damage me in a small community.

Just received the formal letter from the outside facility that was involved in this incident , collaborated my story 100%. I put in the chart with the original allegation. Copy saved for me , of course.

I agree, I have taken several issues to him with absoultly no suppport. He tells her she can't do that, but needless to say, she still does as she pleases.

Yes, the wife is the Nurse Practitioner in the office. There are several issues with the Nurse Pratitioner doing illegal and unethical practices. I have a copy of all of these also. She is aware of one illegal issue I know about(I signed my initials to it), this chart falsfacation occured after she found out I sent a response to the institution and a medicine was not filled. The doctor was out of town when this occured, he was made aware of the issue when he returned. He sent a reponse to the instition also instructing them to not fill the medicine.I don't know for sure this instigated her to do what she did but any way I look at it , she has no right to jeopadize my license with a malicious act like that..

Totally agree. I assure you this is weighing heavily with me. I have been a nurse for 30+ years and never had anyone do something so evil.

Yes. I intend to put all the papers together in the patients chart, plus keep a copy for myself. The idea of shoving in the doctors face sounds good but don't know if I want to hear how its not that big of a deal again. That's was why I thought of taking it to the Nursing Board.

You are never too old to peruse a dream... Go for it, you will not regret it ..

Everyone has told me that, but until this happened, I thought I could handle all the BS.. This is different. Can't work and constantly be on the lookout for someone trying to sabotage me. I totally agree, got to get out of there...

Thanks for your honesty, I have already started the "new job" process. It's sad that people in the healthcare profession can have so much hate toward each other, for no reason.. :)

I need some input from all of you on this issue, thank you in advance.. I work in a small doctors office for a physician and nurse practitioner, who happens to be husband and wife. The wife dislikes me because I am female, don't know of any other way to put it. She has done many things to me over my six years of working with them, most of them regarding personal property issues and verbal abuse. I have informed the physician of these problems , he gives her a slap on the hand and tells me to suck in up and move on, that she has jealously issues and there's nothing that is going to change that. I love my job there and tolerate her behavior for that reason. Last week I found where she wrote in a patients chart that I gave an order to an outside nursing agency regarding a dangerous medicine and what to do about it. This is the last straw for me, I never talked to anyone regarding this patients care and would not ever do so unless instructed to by a superior. The person from the other agency (also a nurse) backs up my story and is going to put in writing ,what really occurred. This is a deliberate and malicious act against me and affects me lively hood now. I know taking it to the physician again is not going to get me anywhere so would the nursing board take care of this type of complaint? Would I be better off just to get out of there and forget and move on?
