Only escalate it to her supervisor if she doesn't think it was wrong (and an abuse of her position) to phone you for a personal problem at midnight. How old is this person? How long has she been a nurse? And as for confidentiality about her migraines - I bet everybody she works with knows about her migraines.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-89458339451866615962010-05-26T20:43:14.028-04:002010-05-26T20:43:14.028-04:00hahahahaha ...

There's a fine line between letting Supervisor know that Nurse Midnight used her job (access to doctor's number) inappropriately and protecting Nurse Midnight's confidentiality about her migraines. But you should do it. Letting it go is not conducive to Excellence in that OB nursing department and the Supervisor will want to know.thegooddrlaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08435755211517374081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-16856425992639296422010-05-26T11:44:32.346-04:002010-05-26T11:44:32.346-04:00Just lonely...Fed up with patients...Needed a frie...Just lonely...Fed up with patients...Needed a friendly voice...Claudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04307495672130972111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-3724002564072912692010-05-26T11:05:39.544-04:002010-05-26T11:05:39.544-04:00*groans* although pain and make you doing some stu...*groans* although pain and make you doing some stupid things... this just makes nurses look bad.
