I got Fired today....

I was told that the cause of death had not yet been determined, just that they knew her heart rate had gone really high and her sat really low all of a sudden.

Hmmm..... thats funny - that happens naturally when someone dies. GEEEZ 'cause of death not determined' my rear end! What are they thinking?

Suesquatch, I really don't see why you were fired.

my condolences to Julie and Sue. May you both find it better after being let go at these jobs.

That stinks!

I am glad you have a new position. It sounds like the hours will work better anyway.

Sue-

WOW- I can't believe they fired you, you were doing what was best for the resident! Why on earth would someone question you for getting help from someone more experienced? That's absurd.

I'm so sorry. I wish I had something helpful to say- it just sucks.

i think sue's point was , that she was supposed to be in the dining room.....
and i wonder if the swallowing issue wasnt a precurser to the death rather than the other way around.......either way, take what you can from the experience and move on........and bravo that you got an order for pain meds on the first one!!!!

I'm sorry to hear you were terminated from your place of employment. Being fired is a depressing, humorless experience.

Congratulations on finding another job!

Sorry to hear that you two were fired. I wish you both the best.

Sue, I can't comment since your post had to be edited, but I'm sorry you're going through this.

Julie, it sounds like yours was meant to be, but it stinks that you found out through your loan officer! I think I would seriously consider filing a complaint against the hospital for saying too much.
