Workplace Issues Nurse publicly bragged about refusing basic patient care

445 Upvotes

Imagine putting “hands-on patient care” on LinkedIn while publicly bragging that you walk away when a patient needs basic hygiene care. 😭

Being maarte is one thing. But when your profession involves vulnerable patients, their dignity shouldn’t become your punchline or a task you proudly dump on coworkers.

The internet really made some people forget nga makita gihapon sa employers ilang batasan behind their resume.🙂

Other RNs needed for burnout survey

0 Upvotes

Hello everybody! I am a current nursing student conducting research on nursing burnout that I plan on presenting at a conference. I would appreciate if any RNs could fill out my quick survey. It only takes about 5-10 mins to complete.

ALABAMA NURSES COPY, PASTE, SEND TO EVERYONE OF YOUR STATES LEADERS

2 Upvotes

My email to state leaders, please share with Alabama nurses and feel free to copy / paste to your state leaders:

Dear Representatives,

I am writing to you today as both a constituent and a practicing nurse in Alabama to request your urgent assistance regarding a critical security issue affecting our state’s nursing professionals.
According to recent communications from the Alabama Board of Nursing (ABN), the personal data of licensed nurses across the state has been compromised.

While the ABN has acknowledged the incident, the information provided on their platform lacks concrete, actionable resources for affected individuals. There is currently no state-directed guidance or infrastructure to help nurses protect their identities, secure their credit, or navigate the immediate aftermath if their information has already been misused. 

Many of my colleagues and I have already begun experiencing an influx of targeted spam calls and potential phishing attempts. As frontline healthcare providers, we expect the same level of consumer protection and state advocacy that would undoubtedly be mobilized if a data breach compromised the personal information of physicians, attorneys, or legislators. 

I urge you to coordinate with the appropriate state oversight bodies to ensure that comprehensive identity theft protection, credit monitoring services, and explicit legal resources are provided to all affected Alabama nurses immediately.

Thank you for your time, consideration, and ongoing support of our state's nursing workforce. I look forward to your prompt response.

Sincerely,
