What happens when a nurse violates privacy rights?

What a joke! Believe me it happens ALL THE TIME!!! There is no such thing as confidentiality. Legally it is a criminal offense. It is a class A misdemeanor. Ask if anyone has ever been prosecuted though. And to report it you have to break your own confidentiality ---think about it. Then try to get an attorney to take it on as a civil case. Anyone who breaks confidentiality SHOULD be held accountable to the fullest! Including loosing their jobs, criminal charges and civil. There are all kinds of 800 numbers you can call to report it but you only have like 120 days After that they will not investigate it. Report it!
