Transcribed Image Text:Rachel's Erratic Behavior
Rachel Greene has been a nurse at Spring Hills Medical Center for 13 years
and has served well in a number of positions, including head of an intensive
care unit (ICU) for 2 years. After returning from a short leave to care for her
mother, she had four different temporary assignments. Her co-workers and
the nurse managers on two units have noticed strong mood swings in Rachel,
including, at times, what they felt was an excited and hyperactive state.
Sometimes her mood seemed to change dramatically even during a shift; at
times she was exceptionally pleasant, at other times she was argumentative
and disruptive. One nurse said she heard from a friend (outside the hospital)
that Rachel, who had been living alone since her mother died, was involved
with a group of neighbors that have a reputation for using drugs. Her former
nursing manager thought that Rachel might even be stealing controlled
substances from the hospital; she and a nurse on her unit had noticed that
patients seem to be requesting more pain medication after Rachel had been
on duty, and they wondered if Rachel could have been using some of the
drugs herself and diluting or limiting the patients' dosages. They had, in
fact, conspired with another nurse to watch the situation after Rachel had
been reassigned to a new unit. The same pattern occurred - although there
was still no real evidence of Rachel's actions.
