Curious....If D.O.N., A.D.O.N, and/or Admin. are fired w/out notice.,

[nervousnurse]

how does a facility legally run without them if they're fired with no notice? It has NOT happened where I work, but I've heard stories from other nurses where "our D.O.N. and Admin. were escorted out"....etc. Also, we haven't had an A.D.O.N. for a while, so IF that happened where I work, how does the facility keep running until (IF) they find replacements?

AT my facility, corporate would send in an interim administrator,DON. I have heard that the SDC could be asked to be the acting DON
