What can I do about a hostile work enviornment?
I have been in a hostile work environment for the last 8 months after reporting nurse manager; I was asked to “downplay a patients condition and transfer them to the floor”. I refused as the patient required ICU care and was not stable. I filed a report with the head manager and human resources and nothing was done. I have been a nurse for 9 years with no violations or complaints. In fact, prior to the complaint I was never called into the office. However, following the complaint, I have been called into the office non-stop. I submitted for a transfer Tuesday and Wednesday I was written up for an issue not against policy.

If you believe that you have been retaliated as a result for reporting the "head manager" at work to human resources over an incident, then you have the following options:
1. consult with an attormey that practices employment law concerning the retaliation against you and get some legal advice as how to try and resolve the situation;
2. make a complaint with your local department of labor about the retaliation in the work place against you by your employer and its representatives.
