Accusation of Med error

I need some direction on this matter. In November last year I signed up for a 13 weeks travel assignment with an urgent to work in some facility in Arizona. The place was so welcoming and l had a 3 day orientation with a very friendly staff. I have been an LVN since 2012 and since then l have in various institutions mostly rehab centers. So l am familiar with most of the systems used.  At this particular place, l used to work a 22 hour shift, from 7 pm to 7 am. I enjoyed my work and took my time especially when it came to medication administration. Residents began warm up to me as l would share some jokes with them. I was at the beginning of my 5 th week when l received a message from my Agency that the "facility" had demanded that l should not report for duty the following day since l had a med error . No one told me when the med error happened and what really happened. I tried to contact the urgency and no one responded. I also tried to find out from the facility what exactly happened and no one seems to have an answer. I finally bought a last minute ticket to fly back to my state. This things had haunted me so much. I have not been able to work since then and l going through depression right now. This urgency just called me to offer me another job somewhere with a lower pay rate. But they don't want to address my issue

Anything could have happened. Literally anything at all. Facilities can and do drop agency nurses for the littlest thing, and when they don't have a good excuse to do it, they will sometimes make stuff up so they don't have to pay the rest of your contract. Since you are upset about it, I suggest talking to the recruiter and getting some clarity. My former agency didn't tolerate this kind of treatment from facilities and actually banned a facility for making up nonsense about nurses to get out of contracts.

7pm to 7am is not a 22 hour shift.  Anyways, I have never met a nurse who hasn't made a med error.

That was a typo error. I know it's 12 hours
