This is absolutely ridiculous. I think we as nurses need to do something. I am Michigan licensed yet working in Fort Worth under an emergency license I received my nursing degree from university of New Mexico and took my NCLEX in Michigan. I think we all need to gather, and fight for this we can legalize marijuana but not make Michigan a compact state? Why don’t we do the math. How is much is each state paying out for complaints etc vs what Michigan claims that is would cost? And what high standards does Michigan have? I’m sorry I make no sense but this is ridiculous we need to come together and fight this legislation should have no jurisdiction over nurses and where they practice!!

in 2017 I obtained a contempt of court charge which resulted in a misdemeanor- due to a a bad break up with an ex whose main goal in life was to make me miserable- hence spending 22,000 in attorney fees, court nine times- he was hell bent on hurting me, my career, my relationships etc. I reported it to the board- I explained my side of the story to the board of nursing. 7 months later they sent me a letter wanting me to explain. so I wrote them explaining what happened, even spoke with a referee four months later- this was July of 2018 fast forward January 2019- I called to find out the status- they wanted to reprimand me, I hired an attorney in April of 2018. $5000 retainer and all. so long story short- I've spent over $6700 and haven't even had a heading yet. my first attorney general assigned to my case quit, so we had to start all over. my hearing was scheduled for January 2020- I did not feel my attorney was well prepared, no strategy, didn't feel like he was up to date with my case- it had been a year since I hired him. so case adjourned to march- covid hit- rescheduled three times. I am being charged with mental incompetence- I had 3 psych evals- one I did when my ex first placed a ppo on me, 2nd by the judge, 3rd by the board of nursing - all said anxiety, depression- the last consent order even stated by the attorney general I was competent to practice nursing, - so I kept asking my attorney, why are we going to court? they find me competent this needs to be dismissed so august 24th they send a letter out for a September 30th hearing via telephone- then august 26th I get a notice stating they are withdrawing my original case and its being superceeded by new charges- negligence and lack of moral character ( this was a break up between an ex and I, absolutely nothing to do with my work as a nurse)- so I have to start the entire process over again, sending in an explanation within 30 days, then eventually talking to a referee. I found out the other day, that I still have the telephone hearing September 30th which makes absolutely no sense to me at all. I feel like my attorney is just nickel and diming me and not being aggressive. we were both under the understanding that the hearing was cancelled, but apparently I have two hearings for the same charge. I know I should hire another attorney but I've already invested so much into this guy- im just not understanding why there are two hearings and why am I being charged with negligence- let me just add this- I have never harmed, hit, assaulted anyone in my life- I broke up with my ex and he wanted revenge. any insight this is just crazy and has almost been 3 years and I've lost great jobs because of this.

please message me I have questions

There is only one nurse per shift You don’t know me that well then. So your opinion doesn’t mean that much to me. Im noy acting like a victim. I genuinely thought she was being nice. She even had th audacity to tell me I was her favorite. If I were her favorite she wouldn’t of reported me. She could’ve simply said I don’t think I want you to contact me instead of being a malicious person.

What I did was wrong and I accept responsibility. the story is a little bit more complex than what I’ve posted and whomever stated she was only being nice to me because she was in fear I would tell my father is probably true and I fell for it I’m gullible As for their marriage. I’m not my father I never harmed or spoken negatively about her. When she came in I treated her like any other patient with compassion and genuine care. I am a really good nurse I will give myself that much. But I messed up intensely. I wasn’t trying to be malicious in anyway that’s not who I am When I received her number I did throw it away and found it later because I had no intention on calling her as for the curiosity that was in the beginning I had not seen her in years, but when she came in I was compassionate And didn’t give her special treatment I did her assessment. We caught up on life. And that was it what my father did to her was horrible and regardless of what anyone thinks this was a way of getting back at him even if it didn’t hurt him directly you would understand it I told you what my narcissistic father did but again I take responsibility I shouldn’t of text her. I think that’s human nature but again it was wrong

I have access to all patient packets that are faxed over from hospitals I fill out these blue sheets with what’s going on psychiatrically and if there’s medical complications as well. There’s usually one nurse working and that was me. So that’s my job. That’s not hippa I have verbal consent. But the issue isn’t because of me it’s because of the ugly divorce she went through with my fAther. they had a horrible marriage and divorce. So this was a way to get back at my father even though it doesn’t hurt him

Please explain the hippa portion to me so I understand. I never disclosed any information and as far as I know if she was willing to talk to me after discharge with her consent what’s the problem

It wasn’t a hippy violation. I Had her number. And she was ok with contact afterwards

I work for a psychiatric crisis center. This is actually my 6th year anniversary i am contingent now. At the psych facility we receive packets to come in and be psychiatrically evaluated. I was working a midnight shift. We have a pending list of patients to come in and sometimes if we read their charts and we see they could easily be decerted we can call them in. I happened to see my dads ex wife. We never got along while they were married. Also did haven’t seen her in 16 years. I decided to call her in for being curious and also I knew she would be be a quick decert. she came in and I had to assess her. We chatted caught up, I explained the process and I said if you ever needed anything here’s my number. My heart was in the right place. few days later a friend of mine whom I used to be really close with but now she’s a supervisor and doesn’t know how to act so we’re fallen out. Anyways she wrote a recipient rights on me because it’s a conflict of interest which isn’t true because I’ve taken care of many people I know. needless to say the recipient rights went no where so today they needed a nurse and I went to work 3 hours into my shift I noticed I couldn’t get into the program. I was inactivated. I asked a supervisor and he looked into it. he came up to me and told me I was suspended pending investigation but was unable to tell me why. This was news to me so I blew up my nursing supervisors phone- we are pretty close and I explained to her my file a and I asked if she knew about it and she said yes. WhiCh baffled me as to why she didn’t tell me well apparently my fathers ex wife came to my job and told them I contacted her. I had sent her a text a week after discharge asking if she was ok and I wanted to know if I did something wrong Because I was being accused oF guiding her what to say. Which I didn’t. If she needed help she needed it. She said she was sleeping and would contact me later. I never contacted her again. This was all via text. so she went to my work and showed them the text. Per my supervisor she doesn’t know if she can save my job. I know I was Unprofessional and crossed a boundary but in my defense it was an old family member and my heart was in a good place. But then again I never should’ve contacted her regardless. I am distraught and so mad at myself for my stupid actions. I kind of want to resign right now just to get it over with. But I would like other people’s opinions. And please don’t be harsh I’m already beating myself up as is.

I asked them if they go through my epic and find nothing would could happen that I opened my exes chart. They said termination. So either way I feel as if my job is at risk. My ex has done a lot of damage to me. Mentally, and emotionally. He's a narcissist. He's taking his anger from his ex wife cheating with his best friend out on me. Because I don't understand how much hate he has in his heart for me. It's so heartbreaking. My mom told me I'll never win with a narcissist. I've tried placing a ppo on him multiple times. Each time it's been denied. He has the history of violence and stalking. But was able to put one on me for nothing with the help of my sister. Now they made a bunch of lies and I'm in contempt of court. And we go to court on the 10th. And I'm scared for my life. It's been a year of hell for me. I've never harmed a soul never done anything to him or anybody else. After this court date. God willing I'm found not guilty I'm picking up selling my house and moving. I can't handle it anymore. It's so sad. He treated me like a princess did everything for me. Then he snapped. I'll never trust another man again.

I plan on resigning But thank you. It's been very depressing. I love this job and it's amazing but I have to cut my losses

Allow*. As nurses we all struggle. We need to stick together.

Paid 2000 for my attorney already. Pray everyday. I am an amazing nurse and I'll be damned if I slow a psychopath take away my life.

Monday my manager called me and said HR and privacy managers wanted to speak to me and I as like for what. I figured maybe when I had a patient two days prior I went back through her chart to see if I had charted everything correctly since we switched bloods transfusions from paperwork to computers now. So so I spoke with them yesterday. Mind you I started in April. They said I accessed two charts, and they had snap shots of these two peoples charts labs, notes vitals etc and I was like whoa, no those people aren't familiar to me I have no idea who they are. it looked like someone spent two hours going through these two peoples charts. The third person I am guilty of. In April I first started and didn't know epic didn't train on the modules yet. I was just clicking on buttons. A space bar popped up. So on auto pilot i typed in my exes name and was like nope and I backed out. Less than 30 seconds. Well my ex is pretty much a sociopath and he's doing everything he can to just destroy me like literally. So they brought up i looked at his chart. Only his demographics page. I froze I didn't want them to know my business and if I told them I would've broke down crying from what I've gone through in. The last year with him I froze and lied and said I didn't know him. I denied it I didn't know what to say. Long story short my ex is trying to make my life miserable. One of the privacy managers was like well we heard you know this person. Which it was my exes name. I knew right then my ex called. They didn't suspend me they said we will call you tomorrow. I just didn't feel comfortable telling ppl i barely know my personal business I drove home home crying I felt so guilty. I can't lie. So I called the privacy manager left her a message then called my boss and asked if I could come in today I wanted to speak to her. I wanted to tell her the entire truth. Like how my ex is harassing me trying to put me in jail etc I met with them and told them the truth and said I love working here but if I have to resign I will. They said wel out investigation isn't done we are still looking. I said I'm not worried I know hippa I did make a mistake I'm sorry for lying. When I mentioned resignation they ignored me. At the end of the meeting I asked so if you go through my epic and find me clear what could happen that I opened my exes file. He said possible termination. ☹️ Mind u I never clicked on anything of his. But my manager was like until pending investigation is through we have to suspend you. What i I did was wrong. I accept responsibility. I wish I could stop my exes harassment. He's doing this in retaliation because I opened a new account at a bank. Well his sister started working there. I didn't know. I walked in and she must've saw me and locked the door I was so embarrassed once I realized it was her I left quickly. My friend who works for a different branch prompted me a to call customer service and see if she accessed my account. I said no no it's ok. Then a week later I was curious. And she did. Three times without my authorization So I text her and asked her nicely not look into my personal info and I told her that I was given the option to report her and I chose not to. Because it could lead to her termination. She made a rude comment and I left it alone. And now my ex finds out where I work and calls. ������

Did this just happen
