you did the right thing, no doubt about that. and like uwm, you shouldn't fear for your job. usually places have an incentive plan to reward things like this. plus, if you let this go without saying something your company could be exposed to a lawsuit (like you said).

you can always get a new job... but you cant ever get a new conscious
you did the right thing.. especially if its in the medical field
being a military officer we play these ethical what if games constantly... and there are SOP's for a reason, which makes it easier to make the tough call... nobody can ever fault you by doing what you are supposed to do even if it doesnt seem right (ala, might lose more hours b/c of calling her out on it)

To an extent.
All too often, the people upstairs are told what to think by the people upstairs of them. And those people don't know the extent of a situation until it is told to them by, you guessed it, the people upstairs.
I would imagine that you need to do what needs to be done at times if peoples' lives are at stake, no?

I wholeheartedly disagree with these statements.

Or maybe it's all just a big practical joke coordinated by the nurses to expose Jenny as the do-good tattle fuck they all know she is.
God I hate people like that.
HATE 'EM.

If you are canned for what is basically negligence or malpractice in healthcare, getting a new job that might require references or a background check of sorts will suddenly become a very large issue. I guess you might be trustworthy enough to bag groceries for people, living on tips, but you know the moment you drop somebody's orange, they are going to can you for produce malpractice.
And getting a new conscience is easy. Just takes practice and repetition:

Wait... Jenny is actually a good and decent person? Who would have know from what she usually posts here?!
I don't think there's much risk of losing your job, but if there you should seriously have considered lying.
