Hello colleagues. Please bear the long read.  It's necessary so you know the history 

 

  I managed to check my email this morning before pulling out of my driveway for work.   I received a notification that my last employer turned me into the BRN.  The background is I am an RN hospice speciality and left that employer before my 90 days was even up.  I had major issues with personality and micromanaging to the point I felt it was harassment.  The job I had was not patient hands on care.  They had me working at a satellite contracted hospital where I was available to help with admissions to a GIP unit there withing the hospital.   I had a supervisor who went on medical leave and left me messages via text indicating that I would be reporting to our non licensed marketer.  I was with this company 2 months and they never managed to get clearance for me to be able to fully function within my job I was hired for.  The hospital EMR was never available for me to do the required documentation.   My supervisor who was on leave texted me the day I quit.(  I had spoke to admin about my concerns and asked to move to another position in the company so I can actually care for patients.  It was declined stating I needed to stay where I was.  ) None the less, I was driving into my hospital and I got a message from my at home medical leave boss asking me to text her when I am there and report what unit I am on so she knows where I am at.  This was the straw....  I messaged her back I am done.  I have received 30-50 group text messages from this person and her marketer.   I drove to the office and physically spoke to the executive director and another clinical supervisor.  I told them why I as resigning..  they listened, admitted some issues but asked if I would resconsider.  I said only if things will change, the answer was no.  My Director stated he sees my mind was made up and I said it is. At no time did I hear they needed me to complete anything, and in fact I didn't have any patients under my care or waiting referrals.    I handed in all my equipment and left.   I never was never written up, nor did I have any counseling or performance improvement plans. 

4 months later I get this complaint send to me It is alleged you engaged in unprofessional conduct, gross negligence and/or incompetence for failing to evaluate and admit patients properly. It is alleged you resigned from work without completing admission notes or updating leadership on pending patient referrals or documentation. 

I feel this is completely retaliatory.  I have .  But it is scary seeing this complaint. Does retaliatory complaints happen and what does the BRN do if its not warranted?
