Help!!!

Is there something else you have done that would make them want to fire you?

I wouldn't think you would be fired for making a medication error. Maybe written up.

Apply somewhere else and just don't give your manager as a reference. Or if you can, don't even mention you worked at that hospital. You'll be able to find another job.

Which drug was ordered?

Okay, you made a med error...it's not the end of the world. Yes, harm can occur from an error but I would have to say there are very few practicing RNs who have not made some type of error. I have made errors and you know what, I learned some very valuable lessons. The important thing is that you caused no harm, you learned from your mistake and you owned up to your mistake. I wonder why they fired you for this one mistake and agree that you should seek legal advice.
