  • Can't choose which hospital if I am in an accident and have to go to nearest A&E.

    Is she an A&E nurse? You might be worrying yourself a lot about something that will never happen.

    My mom drives me mental with her worrying over 'what ifs' that a million to one shots.
    Common sense?...There's nothing common about sense!

    I refused to be treated by a certain GP at my surgery and I also have in my hospital notes a specific obstetrician is not to come within 100 yards of me.. under any circumstances!

    How did you do that, pigpen, did you have to write to them or make some kind of formal complaint?

    I hope you get this matter resolved quickly but you must also tread carefully.

    Living next door to someone making your life hell is very different from giving the impression that they will harm you in there job role.

    A police formal warning wouldn't appear on a CRB check anyway. Besides any form of conviction appearing on your CRB wouldn't list who the crime was against anyway so I don't see what difference it makes.

    You could certainly request it at the time, not sure about putting it in your notes though.

    My best friend is a Nurse, and she knew one of the other nurses was just a nasty vile person, she was always making trouble for other people, it got reported to the relevant people and she was struck off!!

    It will all be on the police system. Did you ever press charges? If she was vile to you, she could be vile to vulnerable people. This makes me sick.

    If there is a real fear that she might be able to get at you were you ever in hospital, could you get a restraining order against your former neighbour?

    Unless she's a very unwell person psychologically, is she the sort of person who would risk her career, livelihood, training, reputation and professional accreditations just to get back at someone who no longer lives near her?

    You could always write to your GP, explaining the situation, and ask them to make sure your wishes regarding this woman are recorded on your medical notes.

    Also, is she REALLY a nurse? When I was a bit younger, I knew a chap who was a complete and utter tool. He told everyone that he was a pilot (thought it enhanced his status, I suspect). My brother saw him at the airport when he flew to France to work for a couple of months. The guy was a cleaner.

    (NOTHING against cleaners - I'd rather hang out with an honest cleaner than a pretend pilot! :) )

    Best wishes. xx

    A warning will appear on an enhanced CRB check, which a nurse will have to have to work in a hospital, and will need to be renewed every (three?) years. She might have some explaining to do at work when the time comes.

    Nurse here ( a real, registered one, although recently retired, so no longer on the register)
    The title "nurse" if often misused. Only a nurse registered with the Nursing & Midwifery Council can use the title, unless it is qualified eg: "children's nurse" "dental nurse".

    The police are obliged to inform the NMC of any warnings, cautions etc. given to a registered nurse - of course they do not always know.

    I presume that you know this person's name. You can go to the NMC site, click on "registration" : http://www.nmc-uk.org/Registration
    Any member of the public can search to see if a nurse is registered. There is a section to contact the NMC if you are concerned about a nurse, and even though this relates to behaviour outside work, you can report it and they will investigate. A nurse is expected to conduct themselves in an appropriate manner at all times.
    If s/he is not a registered nurse, but works at a local hospital, I would ask the police for advice and then maybe contact CAB.

    Milliebear is correct - a warning of this type will almost certainly appear on an enahnced CRB disclosure. Enhanced disclosures are mandatory for those who may come into contact with vulnerable people during their work, including those who work with children, adults with disabilitites, and sick people.

    Even if there is no conviction, there is a space for what is commonly known as 'soft information' - this can include something as little as being questioned by the police. It is highly unlikely that a warning against abuse and harrassment would not appear.

    Hospital staff have to have enhanced CRBs at regular intervals - I think it is three years in most cases. This woman should have informed her employers of the warning - she can and probably will face disciplinary action when they find out (assuming she has not informed them, in which case, she may already have faced disciplinary action).

    To be honest none of us know what she did why OP felt her life was a living hell. It could be a case of maybe fighting over property boundary's, parking to close, playing music loud at night, anything.

    I personally would not like to know that someone has lost there job just because I can't stand them.
