Just got fired -

[blondebabe0625]

Wow. That nasty resident I told you guys about last time I worked complained to my boss saying that I was "mean to her" and that I had "walked out on her" so I got Fired today. I don't get it. This resident doesn't ever know what meal we are going to or what day it is. I'm so upset right now.

I don't understand why they fired you at best you just should have not been allowed to have that pt. What you can do that many don't realize, is chart on a piece of paper and then have the RN sign off on it after you explain the situation, definitely follow up - things like that. When I had a PT fall she claimed I pushed her out of the chair (I wanted to CRY the accusation alone made me feel so horrible as a nurse), but it was next to impossible and later when asked about it her story was inconsistent, she forgot about it and even came up to hug me and said I was the best nurse she ever had. Later on an RN told me that she had a change in medication and her behavior had changed erratically because I wasn't the only one she complained and lied on. Remember that no facility will stand behind you though, even when your an lvn or rn.[/quote']

Thanks girl! Yikes. This place had a high turnover rate [whats new in healthcare] I cried when I walked out of the facility, like bawled. I ended up explaining the situation to another company who hired me ft with $1.75 more an hour..........& then moved across the country for nursing school. Miss that job!
