Hi, thanks for your post. I've tried to get in touch with XX's boss since October 22, to no avail. She does not return phone calls and she had one of her flunkies respond to one of my letters in which I was told that I could not return to the program. XX, who has been employed at the hospital for at least 10 years, seems to be unusually influential/powerful, at least within the partial hospitalization program, which makes this all the more difficult for me.
I see what you're saying about nurses being fired for doing something that a patient doesn't want, such as praying over them - I was perfectly happy, though, as long as XX was being overly nice and telling me she loved me and lending me dvds and stuff - I got upset when she basically "abandoned" me, turned on me when she became "uncomfortable" over the misunderstanding/confusion between the maternal transference and sexual attraction. The program director, who was in the meeting with XX and I after I brought up the obsessive/intrusive thoughts/maternal transference in group therapy, admitted later to me that she and XX jumped to the wrong (sexual) conclusion and that they should have questioned it further before making any decisions.
I was looking at rules and regulations for VA nurses, and under "unprofessional conduct" for which nurses can be disciplined is "abusing, neglecting or abandoning a patient." I'm wondering if what I perceived as "abandonment" by XX is the type of "abandonment" covered by that clause . . .
I was thinking tonight that I wish I could get XX to come to some of my therapy sessions with me, that would be so helpful. I'm sure she would not do that, though - would that be an "abandonment" since she was a clinician of mine who removed herself from my case before any resolution took place regarding problems she caused/encouraged?
Are XX's boundary violations "abusive" or "neglectful?"
Take care, thanks for all your posts =)
> I've seen nurses get fired for praying over a patient as they did not want it it was considered unethical and her own peers reported her. So I would follow -up with it. Just ask to speak to the Director of Nursing at the hospital and she will throughly investigate it happens all the time. Phillipa
