RNBSN1591

Exactly what happened to me. The friend that got me hired was the BF to the boss. They promoted her to supervisor. Her and another RN. The other RN left. My "friend " somehow turned on me, and now my illiterate LPN manager threw me to the bottom of the heap. I have been told that I out perform my friend in all aspects of nursing. But, I'm at the bottom of the list for hours even with the most seniority. I even got my medical cut, and went over my boss's head. She then turned a around and wrote me up. Nobody in my company gets a write up. It was for using a clients computer, which was wrong but I was working with HR off island to get medical reinstated for the next day. Also, for calling the case manager ( I didn't know we were not allowed to do that) to find out if my boss put my notice in on a VERY nasty client. It was 6 months prior to the write up. Moral of the story is don't fight your boss, you won't win. I've always had union jobs, but no Union here. So, that's why I agree with you. When you are the boss's BFF, your the queen. Imagine that. So, let's all play nice. :)

I saw (it was left out on the table) the breakdown of the budget. They all receive Medicare. She's terminal. I saw three amounts from properties in another state that total over 5K. They are in a trust. I was there when they were cashing out 100K 401K to buy home here. I didn't want to know any of this. I walked out of the room when they were discussing bank passwords etc when purchasing home here. Not my business. So, because I know this, I just wanted opinions on what would YOU do? Thanks for all the responses. They purposely moved here because they knew Medical would take their properties. They receive 200 in food stamps. I can't even get that and I'm a single mom of 3.

The child/ father will receive $3500 a month until she's 18. Under 9 now.

I see it in the hospital. I see the "keep your head down and don't ever correct a teacher" and I've seen it in my current place of work. Why does it seem that nurses want to one up each other or socially isolate people? Do you see what I see?

That is why I came here for advise. I do not snoop, the patient is very forthright about lying to obtain services. The things that I saw were in plain sight. I see a gross abuse of the system and I am conflicted. That's why I came here. And my CNA boss has committed fraud by telling coworker it's ok to bill more hours than worked. Blatant fraud. It's obvious that they are living beyond their so called status. I did not report. But if you were in the home, you may see it differently. If I were your employee, I would not bring it to your attention anyway. You do not see what I see, not designer shoes. I see someone who is defrauding a system that others desperately need and do not get. I do not believe in lying; it's a a morality issue. Would you tell on classmates that are cheating? Same argument. Saw that, kept mouth shut d/t bad teacher. You wear your shoes, I'll wear mine.

Thanks ms for the validation. The husband shops at Lowes and Costco. He has every tool you can buy. Their fridge is always stocked, with very expensive stuff. I saw an AMEX bill for $4500 paid. I know their income because I saw it written. They leave stuff like that out, along with their budget info. That's how I know their income. She's very open about the fraud, and the SS for the husband child will exceed what I make in a month. Our state is stupid; if you don't report on application they don't check. Normally I don't care about things like this, but this is OVER THE TOP. Their sense of entitlement is astounding; I usually see pt fighting for needed supplies, but she has triple supplies than any other pt I have worked for. Thanks for the validation. I think the properties go thru the brother in law. Thanks all.

I work in HH. The pt admitted to withholding information to obtain medical. But as I work with them longer, I've found they have an absurdly high income d/t 3 rental properties in Cali. They also just put 100k on a new home here. They have an income of 10k a month. They receive all forms of assistance, even foodstamps. What would you do if you saw this? The family is one child, two adults. Is it HIPPA violation to report? I don't know how they get away with it, but my state is very lax about checking info. I see the medical part justified for the pt. but the whole family?? It's hard to watch. They have a very entitled mentality. Any advice?
