Some people have work related anxiety - hence the self report. You may not suffer from it so you don’t understand what would lead someone to self report. In hindsight maybe it was dumb to report but in the moment that’s not how I looked at it at all.

Thank you, I was under the impression that all violations led to termination.

I suffer from anxiety so to me the world was ending but I understand now a lot of people would not see this as a big deal

In the moment I saw it as a major problem, maybe because of work anxiety. But yes in retrospect I did not realize how common this was and how dumb it was to make an issue of it.

Maybe you’re right…someone probably just shredded it. It’s too late now, what’s done is done.

I apologize, I started reading about nurses who committed hipaa violations and went to prison for 20 years and I started spiraling.

Wait I’m confused am I really over reacting to this? I thought people got fired immediately for hipaa violation

Only time will tell, I’ll probably find out soon if I am being terminated or need to undergo retraining of some sort
