The BON in that particular state can have those things documented with objective evidence, not just subjective complaints, because..to be investigated, you need solid proof

wow, this is one of the best articles i have read so far.. i almost quit last week due to burn out and bullying

This patient is drunk. Yeah i know it sucks, you can put ETOH positive as verified by the MD

wow what an inspiration

Its just a badge, they will test your critical thinking capabilities and attitude if you are affected or not

If they have started a paper trail, you need to find a new job, post haste. If you don't think you'll last after you resign, do what KatieMI said and take medical leave. It might very well keep you off the do not hire list. Besides a paper trail, some hospitals with bullying and racist atmosphere may even collect "objective" evidences such as syringes, patients verbalized reaction, IV site reactions, or even undocumented notes from MD and other health professionals. Resigned asap, go to HR and go to an open door policy HR supervisor eval unless the place is an intact discriminating fraternity/sorority type of place

It is all about location, location, location. That is perfectly correct, the standards of living depends on the state

Please do not put someone on a non-rebreather at 5 LPM, you are actually giving them less oxygen than is in the atmosphere! A non-rebreather needs to be at at least 10 LPM of oxygen. Even though this is very correct and accurate, the one thing that will save you is your documentation that the MD and supervisor was made aware of the patients status, the RN should have assessed this. You are protected period.
