First off, is your "friend" standing up for you and acknowledging that she gave you more cases than you can handle ? Second, if you did not actually see some of these patients, not only have you falsified patient care documentation, you have committed insurance fraud and can potentially be banned from working anywhere CMS is the mayor. I would hire an attorney. Unfortunately, the fact remains it is your license to keep or lose.

The person must make complaints, preferably in writing, to HR. Additionally, I suggest the person start a notebook in an old fashioned marble note book, documenting each event and who was present (with date and approximately time). Once this is reported to HR, if there is no action, the person needs to see if they fall into a protected category under EEO laws. Then the person must keep documenting the events (save any emails into PERSONAL EMAIL !). If nothing changes, can file a complaint with DOL and check joint commissions as well as Magnet sites. This will set up a chain of documentation for potential whistleblower protection. But, either way, the victim must be the one to make the complaint. You can help support the victim and can even document events you have witnessed.

Mine, like most phyllodies tumors, was not malignant.

I would first like to congratulate you on your sobriety !! That in and of itself is a testament to your willpower and drive. I would check with your state board of nursing first to ensure that you are eligible to be licensed in your home state. If it turns out that you are not, my next suggestion would be to pursue a degree in public health.

Hi ! Let me start with I am not an oncology RN. However, I had a 6 cm phylloides tumor removed from my breast approximately 10 years ago. The way it was explained to me is that although the full name is phylloides sarcoma, these are rarely cancerous. They will send your friend's tumor for pathology, but that is mainly a double check. After mine was removed (it was 1/4 of my breast mass), the site was allowed to heal with only skin closure; no drain. The cosmetic result is great as scar tissue filled in the space. No chemo or radiation was required. I suggest you help your friend do a bit more research and arrange the removal. Mine was actually done by a terrific general surgeon I trust implicitly!! PS- I live in NYC area and could have easily gotten in to any of the BIG cancer programs IF it had been warranted. Good Luck to you friend !!
