   Last month I received a an "Order to Compel Psychiatric Evaluation" based on some complaints a former supervisor and co-workers made to the Board of Registered Nursing. All of the complaints were false, and I have had to take time off my current job to disprove them. One of the complaints was that I was so obsessed with a patient, that I supposedly "followed the coroner to his place of business and watched him work on the patient". Another complaint was that I had stolen and "horded" medical supplies. Yet another complaint was about a patient who was supposedly discharged when she only had a scab to monitor. (Not true; she had deep abdominal wounds and was probably still on services somewhere for several more weeks or months.)

   By the way, by pointing out that the correct spelling is "hoarded" that supposedly means I have a psychiatric issue...with spelling things correctly. Yikes!

   Anyway, when I requested a detailed list of what I'd stolen, I was refused and ordered to make the appointment for the psych evaluation. I was told "It doesn't matter what you stole! Make the appointment!" At that point, I decided not to make the appointment. I can't go see a stranger when I'm labeled as a criminal.

   I don't know what's going to happen now. I've been told by the Board that I will face discipline for not making the appointment. I don't know how they can discipline me for trying to not be lied about and trying to not be labeled a thief.

   I know I need an attorney but I can't afford one. Any ideas?

   Oh, and one of the people making the complaints is an RN who was posing as an MD. His buddies backed him up on this. I guess they liked hanging around with a "doctor"? The only problem with that is that he is not an MD in this country. That doesn't mean I'm prejudiced (another one of the complaints). That means he's breaking the law. Also, he gave REALLY crummy "medical" advice, literally third-world practice.

   I think I fall under whistleblower status because I went to the Medical Board to see if this guy (an RN) was also an MD, as he claimed. They had no record of him and began an investigation. So then I went to the Board of Registered Nursing to tell them what was going on. This was in 2007. Nothing happened until 2008, when I received a letter from them saying it wasn't their "jurisdiction" to go after their RN posing as an MD. They referred it to the Medical Board. About six months after I got that letter from the BRN, I got a letter from the Medical Board thanking me for turning him in "before the situation was encountered by any other individuals".

   The BRN has still done nothing to this guy and is now going after me. I wish I could win the lottery and just not have to work for awhile, but that hasn't happened yet.

   I hope someone has an idea of how to proceed. Thanks.

   Oh, I forgot to say...the Order says I have to go for evaluations "from day to day until complete" with as many tests as they want to order, and the evaluator is picked by the Board. I don't think the Board is going to pay for my time off work to be evaluated, and isn't it against any rights I have, to be evaluated under false pretenses? It just seems really bad that Nurse Mc"FakeDoctor" and his buddies can do this to me.

   Honest Nurse, Welcome and thanks for visiting the UcL Forum -

   MsLib is right as usual, others here will have some very good information to help you -

   ... my only thoughts are that alot would depend on the language in your employee handbook and/or any contract ... we would need further information from that -

   ... our profession has something similar called "Fitness for Duty" evaluations. One can be ordered to this process after fatal police actions (automatic) or other indications (perhaps supervisor or co-worker) statements, multiple serious citizen complaints, etc.

   With many agencies it is considered mandatory in order to continue working - but I have never objected and, in fact, have been through it - which I felt worked well, helped establish things properly and concluded successfully.

   However, I have know experience as to the process for RN's or health care professionals.

   hang in there and keep us posted ....

   Welcome to the forum HOnest Nurse.

   WOW, sounds like MAJOR retaliation for the Whistleblower you filed. WHY do they get to pick the counselor or pyschologist that evaluates you? Is that so they can send you to THEIR evaluator so that they can tell him WHAT or HOW to respond? If it was me, I would schedule with a NEUTRAL evaluator so you get an HONEST evaluation to disprove these LIES that have been leveled against you as retaliation for filing the Whistleblower.

   Hi Lulu, Cop, MsLiberated,

   I don't know why the Board of Registered Nursing gets to pick the evaluator. It seems like a conflict of interest to me. And the "day to day until completed" thing is the most scary, because the Board asks the judge (all this is ultimately overseen by a judge) to order that the nurse pay for all of the investigation.

   What gets me is that the Board has a much larger budget than mine to prove or disprove this stuff, and they didn't even call the coroner to see if I had actually gone to the patient's autopsy. That would have taken what, 1/2 hour? Someone in the legal community told me the office of the Board's attorney is just down the street from the coroner. I don't know if that's true, but they're definitely in the same town. The Board never made the effort to see if it was true. Instead, I had to try to remember the name of the patient, the name of the coroner, get in touch with the coroner, tell him what was going on, and ask for backup. Thankfully, I was able to remember all that and he provided backup, but I had to take time to do that, which meant I wasn't able to do other things. And is there any remedy against the person who made the statement against me, that I proved false?

   The RN posing as an MD gets me, too. I wish I could sue him for breach of contract, because I entered into that work contract under the impression I was working for an MD. That was not the case. He lied to me, and is now lying about me.

   I wish there was some relief for this.

   Hi, Honest Nurse -
   Welcome to the Forum. I don't know much about the nursing profession or about the legal requirements to retain your RN, but I DO know that an employer in general can require an employee to attend mandated counseling, if the employer makes it available, and make the employee's continued employment dependent on going and on complying with recommendations of the counselor. For example, if an employer has an Employee Assistance Program, the employer will have a policy that employees may receive a Mandatory Referral. Mandatory Referrals require that the employee go to sessions with an EAP counselor - as many and as frequently as ordered by the counselor - and that the employee do whatever the counselor says they have to do - like attend AA meetings, go to drug counseling, etc. If the employee fails to adhere to the recommendations of the EAP counselor, the employer is free to terminate the employee. It sounds like your RN Board does the same type of thing.

   If all the complaints are false and you've got proof they're false, it should be pretty easy to prove they're false (like getting written verification from the coroner) to get you off the hook. If I were you, I'd comply willingly and graciously with the evaluation and prove you're as sane as evaluator and put it behind me. If you focus on proving there's a conspiracy, you'll just look like you're in need of a psych evaluation - again. No offense - I'm sure you DON'T need a psych evaluation - I'm sure you ARE just being bullied - but you've not got anything really to hang your hat on right now, so it's probably best you get it behind you.

   Hi, OnYourSide,

   The biggest problem I am having in going to be evaluated is that I'm accused of stealing stuff, and I didn't steal anything.

   It's going to be worse if I get evaluated on the basis of being a thief.

   Honest Nurse,

   I feel horrible for you. It sounds as though certain charge nurses and co-worker nurses have ganged up on you and done what they knew they could do through the medical board of nursing. What a horrific feeling that must be.

   I have experienced some horrific things myself while being in the medical field and I have SEEN what some can do and get away with.

   It doesn't matter what started the gang up on you,but now you have to stand your ground and prove them wrong. I just feel awful you have so many at once to have to ward off,to include the board of nursing that you will have to answer to now.

   The biggest thing in your favor is if you are SANE ( you sound perfectly same to me !) You are going to be able to show this to the evaluator , now unless some specific ones at the board of nursing are friends or have ties with the psych Dr. That will evaluate you , you should be able to prove your sanity, WOW, what a thing to have to do!

   It sounds like these co-workers and charge nurses must have experience with this kind of thing to KNOW what it takes to get a nurse to have to GO before a board and cause trouble , serious trouble for someone!

   What medical supplies have they accused you of stealing and hoarding ( you are not the same one from here that posted having a child that needed some supplies are you , I think it was a foley catheter ? Anyway , the other you mentioned about following a coronor to his office since they claim you were obsessed with a patient ( what gave them this idea, what basis do they have to prove their claims , and yours to dis prove ? Then the patient who was discharged with a scab ,when they actually had abdominal wounds ,I am very confused by that one ,maybe its the wording you used , doesn't the DOC have to sign off if a patient is to be dis charged FIRST , and it sounds like YOU feel the patient had serious problems and was dis charged yet YOU were the one to let them go?

   Sorry just confused.....but do KNOW what nurses are capable of in being vindictive , its SAD that this goes on in medical field, but happens!

   IF you can PROVE you have done none of the above and that you have been wrongly accused you later can have legal recourse against those who have nailed you to the wall , this is serious business here .

   I am aware of a horror story involving a conspiracy against a patients SON and he proved his innocence and WON a lawsuit against the Hospital , they were responsible for the ACTS of their employees .

   May be if we knew more we could brain storm to help you out...

   BUT as OYS says you MUST do the psych evaluation and prove yourself there first ,then work on the rest !

    Honest Nurse, I also agree with OYS and Recovering.....
    Take the test/evaluation they want you to take, and prove them wrong. Maybe you can also bring a tape recorder with their knowledge of course.....lay it on the table because if they have no alterior motives they will not oppose to you taping the sessions. True...I'm with YOU it hurts to be accused of being a thief and a liar especially if you are a person who values honesty.
    We have an RN in our Academy....have you joined yet? She will be more likely to have a better view on your situation, as a nurse who beat workplace harassment. Nurses also have a special place in UCL's heart.....if I remember it right(C*R*S* aside)it's one of the many reasons why he vowed to help others learn RESISTANCE on WORKPLACE HARASSMENTS.

    I really don't want to be stubborn, but if a person goes into a doctor, that person has to have the right history. They can't go in with made up symptoms. They will be misdiagnosed.

    If a person gives an attorney a wrong fact pattern, that person and the attorney will go down the wrong path.

    I want the Board to throw out all the wrong stuff about me before I even consider talking to another one of their minions. They pick the evaluator, therefore, it's a minion. I sat through three hours of being investigated by two of their people last year, and this is still going on. It's time for the facts now.

    I didn't go to an autopsy, I didn't steal, and the patients needed care.

    What I need is an attorney to sue Nurse FakeDoc for breach of contract. One of the stressors of this situation is the disappointment over who I was really working for... a nurse faking being an MD, who attacked me when I discovered he was lying.

    Did these complaints about you happen AFTER you turned in the RN posing as a FAKE DOC ? That would make a world of difference as far as getting legal representation on a contingency basis and suing for defamation. Is the practice all of you were employed at still OPEN ? Vicarious liability would play in if THE CO knew what was occurring , so many details I am not straight on in what you state here.

    I do not blame you one bit for your feelings on not wanting to go into a board and be evaluated on ANY level based on the lies and conspiracy. Please tell us the order in which all this occurred, its important.

    Since you can prove they are wrong about all they claimed,despite it being wrong they you are taken through the ringer ,if these claims and complaints were brought forward after you exposed this fake doc and you had to be drug through the mud to clear your good name you would have an excellent defamation suit ( slander as well as libel ) it sounds like this was the order in which it occurred by your last statement and he got others to lie against you as well......... you are no longer working there ,right ?

    FAKE DOC should have his RN license on the LINE right now not you ,but hey this ain't over till its over , you just have to try and bare all they are putting you through and TRY to avoid any discipline by the RN nursing board , still blows my mind how FAKE DOC is getting away with this , did he diagnose people as a DOC, what all did HE DO and how did he fake all this , please details are needed.

    Honest Nurse,
    What PROOF do they have that you STOLE anything? Do they have witnesses? Video? What evidence do they have? If it's just one person's word, then it's just their word against yours. Why didn"t they call the police and report the police to report this supposed theft?

    I think it might be a tort, maybe, or a breach of contract. I tried getting a job there because I had heard he was a doctor. He was called "Dr. Rey". When I went in, he had business cards with MD on them. So of course I thought I was going to work for an MD, who had also passed the nursing boards. He made it sound like he had been a nurse, then an MD. Like he had come here from another country, which he did, as an MD, then passed the nursing board exam, worked as an RN, and then passed the medical board exam later, when his language skills improved, maybe, so he could call himself an MD again. He was, at the company, the Director of Patient Care Services. It made sense to me that the DPCS would be an MD, and, having been an RN, too, then he would understand the nurse's point of view and role in patient care.

    This went on from late March, through April, May, and June, and then around July it became pretty obvious that I was working for someone who was making very bad decisions about patients. So I went to the Medical Board and they had no record of him. This was in late June, maybe early July. I have a letter from the Board of Registered Nursing, which is where I went next, after the Medical Board. It says:

    "This letter is in response to the complaint that you filed with the Board of Registered Nursing (BRN) on July 13, 2007. The BRN is authorized to take disciplinary action only against those Registered Nurses it finds in violation of the Nursing Practice Act.

    The BRN has investigated your complaint against the subject. Our office has determined that your complaint is non-jurisdictional to the BRN, and your complaint has been forwarded to the following agency for review:

    The Medical Board of California
    2005 Evergreen Street, Suite 1200
    Sacramento, CA 95815

    Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention."

    Sincerely
    BOARD OF REGISTERED NURSING
    (name of person who wrote the letter)
    Enforcement Case Analyst.

    cc: Medical Board of California

    The letter is dated September 4, 2008. That's well over a year since I made the original complaint.

    The complaint against me was easily made well after my complaint to the Board. One of the things the complaint mentions happened the week that Barry Bonds was going to hit one of his big home runs in SF. I remember that well.

    I'm really tired and wish I could supply more detail, but I'm REALLY tired.

    About the theft: Rey wanted us to share one bottle of normal saline between all our patients of the day. That was very unsanitary. And that I will talk about tomorrow.

    This is a clear case of RETALIATION for the complaint you filed against the fake doctor in my opinion.

    So are you saying you were accused of *stealing* saline when you used more than the ONE BOTTLE Dr. Fake prescribed to a days worth of patients?

    We did hour long visits to four or five patients a day. We were given a bottle of saline to use for that day. Not for each patient, but for all the patients we saw that day. So if Adam had a wound on his Adam's apple, we would clean it with the saline. It was our responsibility to see that we had a clean surface in the patient's home on which to place the bottle. Then we put the bottle back in our cars and went to the next home. So Betty has a scalp wound, we use the saline to clean it. The next home is Carl. He's had foot surgery. We clean with the saline that has now been opened the third time. Then we go to Denise, whose had abdominal surgery. We finish the bottle there, unless there's a fifth patient.

    I would not go along with this and I wanted each patient to have their own bottle each day. The bottles last about 24 hours and bacteria can grow in there after they're opened. They don't have preservatives. I was called "paranoid" about anything being in the air in patient's homes. Apparently nobody at work had heard or cared to remember about Legionnaire's Disease, or that diseases can be airborne.

    When I asked that we buy 100 ml bottles instead of the big bottles, which I think were 1,000 ml, I was told that would be too expensive. But the patients were paying for it. And I always wondered how we were billing for it. I was told that was none of my business. I called different places to get help, and Licensing and Certification went out there and found deficiencies. That also was after I left. L & C told me they have another complaint against this place from 2008 that has not been investigated yet. This is now 2009 and Nurse FakeDoctor just walks around doing what he wants.

    Also, there were times I could not get into the office to get supplies, like the weekend, but I had a patient I saw every day, for weeks. That was why I planned to go see Barry Bonds hit the home run record, the one that Hank Aaron thought he shouldn't have, because of the alleged steroid use by Bonds. Anyway, that was going to be my one day off after weeks of seeing this patient every day. So, on Friday I would get a bottle for Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. That way I could go right to the patient's home on Monday. Her home was near my home and she was a pleasant person, for the most part, although when I wanted a day off after seeing her every day for several weeks, she and her family complained. I saw her every day from around Mother's Day to the second week of August, when not only did I get a day off, I was "laid off". It hurts that nobody seems to think I got used.

    I can understand the patient's family vocalizing for her and demanding a nurse, even complaining about me not being there, although I should have had more days off and had a relief nurse. But I knew Nurse FakeDoctor wanted to put the patient in a nursing home and I didn't want that to happen. Nursing homes can be deadly infectious places. And I did ask for other nurses, and nobody wanted to take that patient. This was a place where everyone thought he was an MD, and his word was law there.

    He says in his own complaint that he discharged the patient the day after the complaint by her family. I'm sure that she needed more nursing care, and I was in contact with her own, real MD. She had stitches that had broken in two places, and the stitches had closed big wounds that had not filled in yet. FakeDoctor thought a scab meant a wound had healed. That is not true. A scab is nature's bandage, but anything could be under there. If a wound had scabbed over, and the real doctor says it's okay, I would decrease the visits but not discharge, and make sure the patient was healing properly. There are ways to make sure scabs don't turn into bad scars, like keloids. But we were a long way from scars. The wounds were deep. The scabbing she had was from hip to hip, and sternum to her bikini line. The incisions that burst were on the vertical line. Thank God, she never got an infection.

    I'm sure it's retaliation, too, on FakeDoctor's part. He did not like that patient. But, you know, he didn't realize they are the lifeblood of the company.

    Also, let's say I go to those evaluations, and the psych doc finds something. Of course, being an obsessive, autopsy attending, paranoid compulsive thief, there's got to be something there.

    Then the people who lied about who they are and what I did, get a letter.

    "Dear FakeDoctor, thank you for your efforts in helping Honest Nurse get some help. As a result of your efforts and our investigations....."

    I'm not doing that to myself. This is tough, but I have to stick up for myself.

    It's just daunting to do it alone.

    And I thought the BRN was there to protect everybody, even me, from fake MD's.

    Wow , Nurse , I totally see your hurt,frustration, anger and the injustice of it all that YOU trying to care properly and in a sanitary manner to prevent deadly infection transferred from one patient to the next and are accused of stealing supplies or that you must be psychotic to worry about patient care and have to go before a BOARD of nursing to be evaluated to prove your sane amongst this nightmare !

    You then supposedly get fired for taking a long awaited day off, and they have no one to back you up, he was a miser.....am I to understand he was the OWNER of this home health agency that provided nurses to go into homes to care for patients or just an administrator of sorts?

    Call the State Attorney , call the President , Mr Rey Rey needs his licensed revoked permanently and evaluated by a psychiatrist himself.

    I think if you go into the psych evaluation you will walk out fine , they will have to question you to get to the bottom of this mess ,and you then will have a chance to explain why you "hoarded" / took necessary medical supplies to prevent infection amongst patients, explain that the office would be locked at times and you had a need to stock some supplies in advance to ensure you were prepared in advance out of sheer necessity to properly care for a patient on a weekend or other, that the policy and standard of care this FAKE DR. (MR REY REY) put the patients lives in danger and you only wish to follow the standard of nursing care provided to EACH patient, who could fault you for that.

    I would have no fear in going before the board to explain my position , ANGER YES at the absurdity of it all , but just look at THIS as ONE day closer to taking that FOOL DOWN !

    After this story comes out , you do whatever you have to to make sure that all who put you in this position are punished with whatever the LAW may allow in recourse of to all of this.

    What was the deal where you supposedly followed a patient to a coroner to watch the autopsy.......if you feel like telling that portion . I am so sorry you are having to deal with all of this !

    I don't know it just seems to ME that complaints coming from a few other Nurses that have diagnosed you as paranoid, a thief and being obsessed will be taken just as they were presented and by who these DX were presented, they hold the same license that you yourself do, you have an answer for your behavior and maybe this will open a necessary can of worms to STOP this mad man ? Is there ANYTHING in your back ground that makes you fear anything else, not that I care as stated you seem perfectly sane to me from the story you present, but if there were some other accusation in the past that you feel will follow you, then I understand further your fear.

    WOW!!!!! Honest Nurse, this is such an eye opening! So, not only does this fake MD a FAKE, he clearly DO NOT CARE and considers patients as commodities; a nuisance not a human being?!?! Does he refer to these patients as Mr/Mrs?!?!?! or patient number so,and so.... If I may ask: HH, I have seen by medical provider whome, nurses IN there call "nurse's practitioner", which is a BIG ??? to me because she/he is allowed to give treatments/diagnosis as well as prescriptions. How real are they....should I feel safe being in their care?(military clinic)
    My opinion, you should talk to an attorney who specialize on medical malpractice......
    I think McFake should be the one to go for phsychiatric evals!!!! He is clearly not all there. And he has retaliated big time. I would go to proper authorities ASAP!
    That's just my non-lawyer opinion. Hang in there.

    What I know is that three nurses are quoted, and the mom of one is probably involved, and the friend of another MAY be involved.

    Nurse FakeDoctor worked for a home health company that was run by a mother and son. All three are nurses.

    The nurse who accused me of going to the autopsy also told me that she had married people to give them US citizenship, since, in her opinion, our laws were unfair here regarding who got in and who did not. I don't know if her friend is involved, but since they were close, I would not rule it out.

    The autopsy lie nurse knows FakeDoctor, since both companies bid for patients.

    I've been able to establish that both companies have a common employee, but I think that employee is innocent and just went from one company to the other, like I did.

    The weird part is that there are lawsuits in Superior Court here regarding Nurse FakeDoctor and the company, versus at least two other individuals, regarding immigration issues. He would get them here and then things would go sour.

    And, there are about 17 small claims lawsuits that FakeDoctor and the firm filed, but they usually lost.

    I can't find an attorney. The one I spoke to Monday wanted a retainer. Nice guy, but I couldn't afford him.

    Okay, so since it is so OBVIOUSLY UNSANITARY using the same bottle of saline for 4 or 5 patients, can you turn in a complaint to whoever regulates medical facilities in your state? I would think that if someone got sick or died from this, YOU could be sued in addition to the doctor and the medical facility.

    I don't remember if I saw this posted already - but what about reporting Fake Doctor to the physician licensing board? Wouldn't THEY be the ones interested in knowing he was passing himself off as an MD when he was only a nurse?

    I just don't see how you get around the requirement that you appear before this board for their mandatory psych evaluation?

    OnYourSide, will HH be able to go with someone there as her witness-maybe play along their game, pretend to be as Cuckoo/psycho as they accuse her of, or TAPE the session? Malpractice or Fraud is commited in this situation and taping it for evidence will be very useful don't you think?

    I'm not sure I understand what you mean, mslib - go WHERE with someone as her witness and pretend to be cuckoo? Her hearing? So she can get locked up? ;>)

    You're right, OYS.....that is a dumb idea from msliberated :( Too tired yesterday from whole week of putting up with my crappy schedule at work. I have been given the 3-12 shifts and that wore me out! Want to complain but I just don't want to rock the boat right now. I have no energy and there is so much going on......almost like being on a roller coaster ride.(at times) That's my excuse!(LOL)
    HH-please ignore my stupid, nonsense suggestion. I was vey shock to lean about the practice that you told us. I have loved ones who died of malpractice-- she went for a simple gal bladder surgery and never came home. The doctor made an error and slit her big intestines, poisoned her blood and died. I'm pretty sure that, that doctor is still doing surgeries. The immediate family gave up on the malpractice lawsuit due to the lenghty process and monetary danages that will just go straight into the lawyer's greedy pocket.....and the idea that it is not going to bring their MOM back. SAD, but true. This hit old wounds in my heart.
    The practice that FAKE DOCTOR is enforcing is clearly very unsanitary and for what?!?!.... GREED.
    Family should also be enformed that they can make a journal of every meds every names and hour of whatever procedures done to their loved ones in hospitals. It's the family rights contrary to what they have been told to leave after a certain time...end of visitation. I want a loved one right there next to me if I have to go through any medical procedures. Honest Nurse you are fighting for what's right. Keep doing so for the sake of people's precious lives. Hope to US that there are plenty of nurses out there who are as HONEST and COURAGEOUS as you do.
    Just my non-professional, non-lawyer comments (grin)

    Thanks for your comments. I got the accusation today in the mail, and it will be on the Internet in a matter of days, maybe a week or longer if I'm lucky. After that the humiliation will begin.

    The accusation is that since I have not made the appointment for the psychiatric evaluations, from day to day until completed, with as many tests as the psychiatrist, picked by the Board, deems necessary, that now I am accused of not cooperating, and now, unless I file a Notice of Defense, I will forfeit my right to a hearing.

    Even if I go to a hearing, the accusation that I need psychiatric exams is going to go on the Internet. And this was for doing the right thing.

    And they still won't tell me what I allegedly stole.

    I've rarely felt so low.
