Update!!

It's not a good one.....I've been rejected (yet again) by my hometown hospital...got the final thanks but no thanks email today on the 2nd position I put in an online application for last month........still haven't heard anything back on the online application I placed four weeks ago at a facility where I worked 6 yrs ago...but I'd think I would have at LEAST been called for an interview in 4 weeks and especially since I sent my old asst head nurse a "hello" card..

That's ok....They don't pay all that well and I am SURE I'd take a pay cut to go there even if it would be closer for me and I really couldn't afford to take another pay cut.
----------------------------------------------------------------

Woe is me....they STILL continue to do UNSAFE things where I work....left a coworker ALONE in ICU with a pt on a vent who was unstable because she was EXTREMELY anxious and our facility doesn't use DIPRIVAN as the pulmonologist doesn't know much about it

Pt extubated herself TWICE for this nurse!!!! And they STILL did not get my coworker any help as they pulled the other RN and our CNA to another unit!!!!!!!

Like I said in my previous posts....moving is NOT an option.......

But if this stuff keeps up, I may need to start looking into the LTC facilities in my area since I can't get hired at ANY other hospital in a 50 mile radius!

WOW, I'm so sorry. That is all just horrible.

I am thinking that there is more going on than meets the eye. Someone at your old job had an axe to grind with you for some reason... more than just a drug issue (which is a NON issue, BTW.. I've given Xanax and Restoril together more than once).

I can't imagine trying to move on in my career with that obvious injustice in my past. You are a courageous person! I wish you the best and pray for you justice and retribution.
I agree! Get a lawyer. You were wrongfully fired. Xanax & Restoril work differently. Don't think I would give it everyday but there are patients that would need that & more to calm down.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. You've got to get a lawyer and sue for the wrongful firing & also to get them to stop blacklisting you. I'm not sure the laws in your state, but here an employer can not give a reference on you unless YOU give them permission. Find out what the laws are in your state.... I.e. Get a LAWYER!

Good luck!
