I worked at this clinic for 4 months as a family nurse practitioner and I can say this is the worst place I have ever worked and most unprofessional. The human resource department is nonexistent with questions in regards to signing documents that are invasive. Also during a work meeting with staff present a rumor was brought up in regards to having an affair with a coworker, completely untrue and very unprofessional on the part of the council leading the meeting. I was harrassed over not seeing patients with covid symptoms in the clinic repeatedly. I followed CDC and IHS guidelines in regards to this pandemic and was still continuously harrassed to practice unsafely by the current chairwoman. 3 months into working I was given documents to sign that involved me not being protected by HIPAA and volunteering my personal health information. During the time of being there I never called in sick until I was given a reprimand letter full of lies that physically made me nauseous. Also was given a document to sign that did not recognize Covid-10 testing or seeing patients face to face as hazardous during this pandemic when most clinics were using telemed. I was accused in a reprimand letter of not seeing patients after 3pm and not wanting to see patients, which were all lies. The clinic stated to the recruiter that they had a medical assistant /med tech working at the clinic to assist me before I arrived, only to find out the assistant had neither certification and was not trained to perform as an assistant which jeopardized me working as a healthcare professional and safe patient care. I asked why she wasn't trained and the assistant stated she asked multiple times, but they will not send her to be certified. This assistant had been giving patient injections incorrectly for who knows how long because it was deemed ok by superiors. During this time I tried my best to train her properly and discussed the issue with the current chairwoman and supervisor. The supervisor tried very hard to work with me in regards to making the clinic better, but too many times had his back to a wall with management. I helped the supervising pharmacist come up with a plan for covid testing and still possess the documents, but was still informed I did not and needed to help him. My perfomance review was 100% positive by the immediate supervisor, but still was accused by council of rumors and lies. I asked the current chairwoman to discuss documents with supervisor present to understand better why I was signing, which she rejected and told me to meet before the council that all signed an untrue reprimand letter. There is not one person on council that I am aware of that has a clinical background and I am not a shoshone tribal member that should have to go before native council, but a nurse practitioner. I also was told by the community after being terminated that 2 female providers before me were fired and the 2 women providers were not treated very well.. The chairwoman sent me a letter via the supervisor that I was terminated and to pay back a $5,000 bonus. The amount of money I lost trying to do what was right coming to the shoshone tribe in Ely cost me much much more than that. There are people in positions of healthcare with no credentials and no physician overseeing the clinic in a director's position, which is not healthy for any clinic. I really hope this clinic gets it together for the good of the shoshone people. This clinic has cost me alot financially, emotionally and physically due to extreme unprofessionalism and poor leadership. read more
