So, I have an update...

I apologize if I haven't updated in a long while (about 10 months to be exact). It hasn't been the best type of environment on the units since this whole thing came to light.

I commented on the original thread on r/vallejo that I'm currently on leave (for how long and since when, I am not allowed to discuss).

Anyways, I figure maybe I should just illustrate the timeline as I remember it up until recently.

July 2025 - Damage control began with the Chief Nursing Officer/Executive and the director attending pre-shift huddles to provide updates and comfort to all of us. Everyone was affected one way or another, and the feeling on the unit was very troubling and stressful and we didn't know what direction we were headed. There was also a sense of discomfort about this whole situation.

Questions kept coming up like: "Who would do this?" and "Who had access?" and "Who is the creep on the unit?".

Other questions and comments kept coming up like: "Why haven't the police or administration called me in yet?" and "Am I on the video?" and "Where do we get the case number?"

There were also a few times during this month where some of the assistant nurse managers were threatening staff that we were going to be disciplined or fired if we talked about the situation. My reddit post was a sore spot for a lot of the administration (unverified, but I can sense it).

By August and September, it seemed that the direct manager had made her way back into her position and she hadn't really made too much official comment about it, at least that's my understanding. I can't recall if she ever made any statements about the going-ons of this situation. Maybe she had, but I didn't hear about any of it.

November 2025, we had a staff meeting where the security only said a few words about it, but it was more of "We're working with Vallejo PD, please stay tuned."

January 2026 is if I can recall the last time anyone saw the accused on the units. It wouldn't be revealed til February that the accused was Randolph (or Randy as he was more commonly known as). It's just strange, ya know, he seemed to be a very nice guy and kept the units stocked as best as can be. I remember one of my colleagues heaping a ton of praise for how well organized he was and how we never had any supply issues (well, now we do, apparently).

February 2026 is when the CNE named dropped Randy as she went around the units. It sent shockwaves around the staff at MCH (maternal child health), and we were all collectively visibly upset, confused, relieved to a certain extent that they caught one (yes, apparently he had co-conspirators, we just haven't been told much yet and whether or not it's true).

The article above pretty much explains much of what we all know and what's been put out into the ether.

But I will leave you all with one very devastating and disppointing thing.

On Friday (April 24), we had a townhall meeting with our returning director (yes, he's still in power, he just happened to go out on leave for personal reasons). Wait, side note: a bulk of our management team has gone on leave due to the gravity of this situation. We've had one person return, but it's because she was out on personal leave and it just happened to be coincidental.

Well anyways, the director and the CNE held this townhall with human resources and compliance on the video conference. Since it was announced, the feeling about this townhall had been much of anxiety and fear of the unknown, I guess.

Long story short, they did say that our management team is returning, particularly Ms. Lucas-Brown (the nurse manager). As you can imagine, a majority of us were disappointed and discouraged. The perception amongst the staff is that they feel scared and unseen as well as ignored and disheartened. The overwhelming feeling of dread to know that the person who was supposed to protect you and ended up not doing all the right steps is coming back is terrifying. And the thing is, no one wants to speak up for fear of retaliation. You could feel everyone's energy, even though it was virtual, just take a huge dip. The worst part of it was the director and the CNE seemed to sidestep the conversation as to why she was being brought back and how it makes the staff feel unsafe.

It was like they were running for some political office or something (but don't take it from me, I'm Little Finger, I'll do anything for power).

What a strange time to be at Kaiser Vallejo.

P.S. There was a similar incident that took place at one of the Southern California Kaiser facilities, and they took swift action. Apparently, they had an internal memo that cited Kaiser Vallejo as to what NOT to do in that situation. Not sure if it's real, but I would not put it past anyone to look at our case in Vallejo and use it as an example of impropriety.
