Administrative Leave

I'm a new grad RN in the Kaiser NorCal New Nurse Residency and have been put on administrative leave.  I was told there are med issues but was not told the specifics.  The med issues occurred while I was in preceptorship.  I am not sure what is going on and wondering if anyone has experience with this.

    Sometimes an employee is placed on administrative leave pending an investigation of some sort. How has your general performance been? Were you aware of any medication errors, and have you had any written or verbal performance improvement conversations thus far?

    They should be able to give you a better explanation than what you've received. Kaiser NorCal is unionized, I believe, so contact your union rep. You need someone on your side. I'm sorry you're going through this and we're here to help however it turns out.

    Agree with Nurse Beth, they should provide you an explanation why just like how any normal employer notify their employees who has poor performance or have other issues that affected the quality of their work. Anyways, hope they could reach out to you and provide you a detailed info of what happened so you can defend yourself or explain your side.

    Thank you, I've contacted the union.  I was told I won't know more until a meeting is called what the allegations are.

    Has anyone been on administrative leave?  Can you please share more your experience?  Is this standard protocol?
