Re: Doing the "right thing" at the cost of your job.

An ethical thread I guess.
This weekend at work I discovered a HUGE mistake, actually a lie, that one of nurses made. Thing is, she's the charge nurse.
I was hesitant to write her up, because I feared that I would get less hours for exposig her mistake (yes, it's like that at my work).
But then I thought, "No, I have a duty to the residents' safety first and foremost, and if I don't report this I will also be liable".
So I wrote her and the other nurse who made the same mistake/lie. Actually, I tried to not point the finger as much as possible...but it was pretty hard not to.
So anyways, I feel good about doing the right thing...but now I'm scared to see her next...or even what's going to happen at work. This is the kind of shit that our facility can get sued for, and the charge nurse can lose her licence.
Anything like this ever happen to any of you? |
yeah, be carefuly jenny. it doesn't get any better the further you go up the nursing ladder, let me tell you
