NHEN delivers a peace of mind to some misconceived fears of standing out against abuse and neglect. For years, large corporate nursing homes have instilled distress into their employees and staff for speaking out against abuse and neglect. Some examples are fear of losing your license, fear of losing your job or fear of being persecuted for speaking out against the nursing home.
It is important for employees to be aware of laws that protect them against these threats.
The anti retaliation/whistle blower laws protect employees from various forms of retaliation against their employer. Retaliation could include the threat of being fired, demoted, harassed or discriminated. Most states have laws to protect employees from these potential intimidations.
