I lost my job

Thank you! I am looking into the laws and trying to find someone through legal aid. I read that if the charges were unfounded they have to expunge them from your record in 6 years. Well this was 9 years ago. So something fishy is going on. I just don't understand that if they received this report on the 11th. then why did they let me work up until this last wednesday. I was so sad when they called, I was really getting attached to the residents. I don't think I ever cried so much in my life. It just really makes me mad that they would think that I would hurt anyone. I'm just not that way. I went into nursing to help people, not hurt them.

I agree that something is fishy. the problem with anyone calling, i don't know many people in this area and the ones I do know are my inlaws and they didn't know anything about it. I have a copy of the background check that they done on me being sent to me so I can see what the heck is going on. I looked up on the laws and it said that you are only disqualified if you are convicted of felony child abuse or neglect. I will be looking for a lawyer on monday. The only thing they did was investigate. Then they sent me a paper saying it was unfounded. I didn't know that they couldn't release that information if you weren't convicted. Good to know. Thanks guys you have been a huge help to me.
