[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 476164, member: 1233"] The admin is lying to you. FLAT OUT LYING. Little lie, big lie. It is CLEAR she did NOT know the name of the Visiting Angel person who was reporting to the supervisor, as she claimed to but then asked you what her name was. Little lie. WHen you find a lie like that, you are going to find bigger lies, esp if you ahve already had them from most other staff people, as you have. the bit about not having license #'s is pure lying. SHE may not want you to have them, but you have a right to have them. She is trying, quite desperately, to get you to not file that complaint. She also doesn't want you to use those license #'s to look up the records of her staff and see what problems she is hiding. Cause with her attitude and lies she is surely hiding something. My gut feeling is that the fentanyl is left on too long because someone is stealing them. P's word is considered useless because her dementia, so no complaint of hers will do much, so they take her medications. How do I know? Exsil did a LOT of home health work and that is how she got a LOT of her medications. Just leave the patches on a few extra days each, blame complaints on the patient's problems, and you can score a LOT of free drugs. It is likely the supervisor doesn't want you to have the license numbers so you can't see how many nurses are on the program for nurses with addiction issues. Exsil LOVED home health care because it was just so easy to score her medications. Her second favorite job was in nursing homes because no one listened to the patients when they complained and it was super easy to fake the records and steal the medications. I am betting that this is going on with P's medications. This administrator is in CYA mode. There is NO reason you have to go to ANY person at the home before filing your complaint - NONE AT ALL. SO go file it anyway. And do what you can to read the license #'s and check them out either online or through the state nursing board or whatever the licensing group is. As for the new doctor, have you checked hin out yet? Call his office and ask some questions. google his name to see what you can find. If you don't like him or he doesn't respond in a timely manner, ask around and find someone else. Given ALL the lies and misdirection of the person who recommended him, I would be VERY leery of him. File a complaint with the nursing board and this admin's supervisor about Nurse Ratchett. Yelling at a patient that way is called Elder Abuse - report it. As for CPS, report to them by all means, but report to the other agency also. Based on the admin's reactions, I would guess that CPS won't do much but the other agency might put some sanctions/requirements in palce that would cost $$. I know this is really difficult and aggravating for you, but you are doing a really good job. P is lucky to have you. [/QUOTE]
