Wow, what do I do now? What are my legal safegaurds? I was canceled 6 weeks into my contract for what my travel company has pretty much found to be not my fault. I know I did nothing wrong, and am tempted to get my own lawyer for the hospital breaking my contract.
Another travel nurse "mentioned" to another nurse i forgot to record a set of vitals, (I didn't) and she took it on herself to write them in for me. I came back the next morning, she told me about them, and I explainded the situation which explained my side. I get a call from my recruiter the next day saying not to go to work! I was shocked and devestated! No one was harmed, I had my vitals charted! This place threw us travelers into a horrible situation with hardly any orientation, 4 hours tops, and I did a good job. No complaints about me what so ever until this one situation. It boggles my mind. I want them to pay what is owed to me! If it is found nothing wrong was done, who pays me??? I am already being submitted to other places, but I'm not letting this drop.
And how do I clear my name? It is the computer generation, and this could be out there on my record.
You really don't need to clear your name. If your agency is now iffy about you, just switch agencies. I would just delete the hospital from your work history. Unless you have a solid written reference from them. Needs to be written because you have no idea who may say what on the phone.
Good point about malpractice insurance. That will cover you if you are reported to a board. That's the real benefit of malpractice insurance usually.
