accused of verbal abuse

The only place you can get answers from is your work. I'm sorry, we weren't there.

There are states where you can be fired without any reason at all from my understanding.

Yep, at will states. I know Texas is one of them, but I don't know if NY is.

How long have you been working at the nursing home?

You stated you "had an incident with the patient". Did they not have a sit down with you to discuss this? Did you recall the alleged event with them verbally or written? Was a report written up? Was there a witness to the incident that occurred? Something is missing.

I find it very odd that they didn't discuss the specific situation with you.

I find it odd you called the BON.

So were you suspended or fired? You seem to indicate both.

Sorry the whole things kinda of confusing just trying to be carefu about how much I say. After being suspended sunday I had to sit down with the don and adon and give a statement verbally and then they had Me write it down. But I was never told what I exactly I did. I was told it was state reportable and that if the state came in I would have to come back in and talk to then. I was let go today due to not up holding their core values. I was told the state had investigated it. I tried calling HR back since they are the ones who told me I was fired but they haven't returned my call and the DON Isn't returning my calls either. I am assuming that the allegation of verbal abuse didn't have enough support or I would have been fired for that tho correct?

"I was let go today due to not holding up their core values."

Neither HR nor the DON are returning your calls.

Why do you have to ask if you were fired??

I guess your next action would be to call your state BON and find out what is really happening since you said they investigated you. That's probably the only way you are going to find out what claims were made against you, and to see if your nursing license is in jeopardy.
