Retaliation for Complaining about Patients Safety at Kaiser

12/13/2012

 
retaliation against nurses at Kaiser
Retaliation against nurses and other hospital staff by their managers for reporting patients safety violations is one of the common and unfortunate issues that the nurses, LVN's and CNA's face, whether they are new at Kaiser, or whether they have been working there for many years. 

Because it's so easy to find a small violation (such as a
minor charting error) in a nurse's work, it's easy for the managers to suspend, demote or even terminate them for those alleged violations, when the real reason is the
unlawful retaliation for reporting the usafe patient practices.

It takes careful analysis of all the available evidence and documents, including e-mails and witness statement to prove the true reason for retaliatory firing, but often that effort is well worth it, as successful prosecuting a retaliation lawsuit doesn't only vindicate the rights of healthcare professional, but it also sends a strong message to the hospital - that retaliating against employee for doing the right thing and for caring about patient is both illegal and expensive.
