Reporting unethical behavoir

[jschut]

I'm hoping I don't get slammed for asking, but I would like to know to what agency/ and or person would I report unethical behavoir in a nurse?

Can I write to the State Board of Nursing? The Department of Health? The Attorney General?

I have no idea on how to begin, but something needs to be done about this person and their actions before it becomes too late.

Thanks all!

hey, i have been there before. i reported my former employer to the state admin. of occ. health for not having non-latex supplies readily available for latex sensitve staff. they brushed it all under the rug and frankly they lied. havind non-latex gloves locked in a supply room on another floor of the hospital that only the day shift manager has access to is not readily available when you work nights/weekends. i did try to reason w/ my employer, but it didn't work. they got no fine or punishment, but i think it did put them on notice that they were out of step. of course, this was almost 10 years ago when they thought we we were all whiners if we said we were latex sensitive. now they rightfully don't allow latex balloons etc. and try to be as latex free as possible. if you really think the issue is important as someone else said...you know what to do. i wouldn't tell anyone what you are going to do if you feel the state is your only recourse, just be prepared for a letdown, but know it's not you, but the system that falls short.
