~Nurse Called Social Services!~

We are still at the hospital and we will be here overnight again-so not looking forward to that at all! I do want the best for my son though so I do understand it.
What I do NOT understand is some nurse called Social Services telling them we don't have a car seat for our newborn-WHAT?!? His car seat was in the room sitting on the shelf so it was out of the way!
If the nurse did not see the seat, that's understandable-but then ASK ME! Don't just take it upon yourself and call Social Services!
I am so pissed right now-sorry about my language but I am heated at this moment and Momma Bear is OUT! 
The social worker said okay I do see his car seat, maybe the nurse just didn't see it. I told her I don't give a hot darn she should have asked and not messed with someone's life like that!! You don't EVER call Social Services unless you KNOW your facts 100%!
I think I am done venting for now...

How irresponsible of the nurse to call Social Services without even checking on the car seat. I don't blame you for being livid

@Marilynda1225 We told the higher up nurse that we didn't want her to lose her job but a good reprimand would be fine. I hope thats all she does, but the problem is this nurse has had a few "talks" already because others complaining about her attitude.

@JudyEv Yes it was annoying. And social workers can ruin lives if they choose to which is why I don't want them anywhere near me.
I posted an update on Julian's condition.

I don't blame you for being upset. That wasn't a nice thing to do at all. She should have asked you first, before she took it upom herself to call social services. Some people will just start trouble when it isn't necessary. I think you handled the situation much better than I would have. I think I might haves used expletives that I wouldsn't say in here, but you know what I mean.

@LovingMyBabies I don't blame you at all. You had a right to be mad, after what she did. She really should be written up, or let go, at least that is my opinion anyway.

@rosekiss Yeah, I think she is going to be in big trouble since she has had other complaints as well.

@rosekiss No it wasn't and it wasn't even necessary since the seat was in the room! She had an attitude the entire time and her boss said she is on thin ice there right now from other complaints about her.
Thanks, I didn't want to cause problems but I was really mad at the same time-it was tough.

@LovingMyBabies It was wrong of the lady not to ask in the first place. She should be reprimanded by her superiors and if I were you, I would make a complaint.
You are right about being so upset.

I would be super upset too, and that just sounds horrible. I am surprised that social services arrived so quickly though. I would ask that that nurse be taken off my sons care.

I don't blame you for being upset as some people just don't seem to see what is before their eyes. To call a Social Worker I would have wanted to kick the bejebbies out of that nurse and I think I would ask to talk to the Head Nurse and report her for being a fool.

@Marcyaz Yeah we did complain to the head nurse. The nurse did not seem surprised about the things we told her and she said there have been other complaints against her as well.

@Shybear88 I hate them also! I have seen too many of them being called over someone being angry with someone-its not right. And for many stupid reasons!
This woman I met in a FB group wanted to be friends with me and have our kids play together. When I found out she was a social worker we were no longer friends. I just cannot be friends with anyone that ruins lives like that.

I understand how you feel. Firstly, she was quick to assume. Didn't even try asking personally or thoroughly searching the room. Second, who is she to butt in? She's just a stranger, she should be focusing on her job - anything else other than that is not her business.
I hope you took the matter to the head nurse or whoever's in charge. If the nurse was like that to you then who knows if she had done it to someone else, ruining their life over false speculations?

@azrapa Exactly, she could have just asked and I would have showed the seat to her! It was insane. I did take it to the head nurse and she said she will having a talk with her. She also said she has had many complaints about that nurse.

@azrapa No she isn't new, that's something you wold expect from a new nurse-not someone who has been there a while.

@LovingMyBabies Oh so this nurse wasn't new? I seriously thought only new ones could make such a blunder. If she already has a lot of complaints then maybe she's really doing a lot of things the wrong way.

Why wouldn't she just ask me where his seat was? I would have showed her and it would have been over with! I don't get some people

Oh wow even without all those post partum hormones racing through me I would be furious at social services being called on me as well in a situation like that. That is horrible that she just assumed because she didn't see one that you didn't have one and reported you. She should have asked and been nice and maybe tried to find ways to get you one if you couldn't afford one etc. Some hospitals give them to people who do not have one.

@LovingMyBabies People like that just should find somewhere else to work where they do not have to be around people. She sounds like she is miserable and just looks for ways of getting others in trouble even if she has to make things up. That's awful that they have someone like that working around newborns especially. I had the smelliest nurse at night when I was in the hospital with my daughter was born. I did not want her even touching my baby she smelled so bad. I was disgusted they had someone like that working there. She was very kind but had terrible hygiene.

@shaggin Yeah, it was really tough holding my tongue enough to be productive at that moment. We spoke with her boss and her boss said she has been in trouble already for other complaints. I am not surprised hearing that at all. She also had an attitude the whole time too.

That Nurse acted in an unprofessional manner. Once you take Julian home, you should write a letter of complaint to the hospital administration, and if you know which nurse, name her in the letter. They might not do anything, but they might remind their nurses to double check before calling the SS in on the case and you will save another family the hassle you went through.

@DWDavis Yes she most certaintly did. That's what my husband said to do as well, write a letter complaining about it.
We did complain to the head nurse and she said she would be having a stern talk with her. She also said that nurse has had more than a few complaints against her already.
