Can I get fired from signing the MARS a night before my next shift

[pinkdustmagic28]

hello everybody well I'm a new LVN in California I have around 10 months of experience, and I felt that I have done the worst mistake ever in my life, here is the story hopefully I can get feedback as I'm freaking out thinking I may get fired. Two weeks ago I worked the 1500 to 2330 shift at my job, I was schedule to come in the next day to work the 0700 to 1530 shift at the same medication cart I had the night before, I was so tired that I decided what the heck I'll just sign the MARS Tonight and just document any med refusals or anything else if they happen tomorrow, big big mistake of course, my employee cough that and I ended up being suspended for 4 days, being accused of falsification of documents and since I'm only on call I'm not getting any days for next month (April) I have a meeting with the DON on April 4th and I'm sooo afraid that I might get fired , this is the first time I have done this so I'm not sure what is going to happen, please any advice is welcome so help me ease my pain and worry. thanks

Case in point: (actual case)

Resident was fine this morning. Ill this afternoon, continued to go downhill. New medications ordered and some discontinued.

Resident was deceased within 6 hours of onset of illness.

If the MARS had been pre-signed....well, that would not have looked good for me.
