Hi. First of all, let me explain that today I was terminated from my job today at a Psychiatric facility for children 5-22 years of age. My parents' neighbor, who works at the facility made the recommendation for me to try the facility, and hence told the ADON, his friend, about me. Well, I was hired March 1, 2011 on the spot in an interview last week of Feb 2011 after they started their background check on me last week of Feb 2011. Well, I was on Nursing classroom orientation March 1-4, and I was at Nursing orientation on the floor March 7-11; however, I could not interact with patients hence I ended up listening to the patients mostly through the infirmary door. This was mostly, because my background check did not come in yet. I was also told that I couldn't really look at the pyxis, because my background check was not completed yet I could look at patients' records?!! Does this make sense to anybody?
Well, on March 11th they said they were going to re-submit my background check,and on March 11th they re-did my fingerprints. The HR manager realized the I was hard to fingerprint, and said that's why it's taking so long for my background check to be completed. I was in HR orientation Mar 14-15, and the ADON was telling me that she hoped my background check would come in. It didn't.
Well, from Mar 16-24, I called twice if my background check was in and twice they said no. Then, today Mar 25th, I was told that I was terminated as of the 24th of March. ***!!!!
Well, they said the reason was because I had to be frequently re-directed and demonstrated poor comprehension. Also, I failed two required tests for orientation. The HR manager said I failed the Pharmacology test, which was take home..I didn't know I received a failing grade. Plus, I thought they would go over it. I know it required an 80% or more to pass, but I was reassured by the previous orientees they'd go over it. Plus, they said I failed the Nonviolent Crisis Intervention test, and that the certificate I received, according to HR, was just for attendance. If that's so, then why did I receive a certificate from this class that said I "successfully completed the course"? I mean, I know that I had trouble with the holds, but I finally got it. They said this was the re-direction they were talking about. But then, why did I receive a certificate of successful completion?
I'm sorry. I had to rebuttal. I don't really want or expect to get re-hired, but I wanted to write something down.
I talked with my husband and my parents about this. My dad says it's 100%their fault, and they're just covering up their A$#! My mom thinks breastpumping during the orientation sent a red flag to them, and that they're just looking for an excuse. Well, maybe mentioning to them I just had twins didn't help. My husband thinks it's a blessing in disguise, because the kids in that facility are pretty dangerous.
In my previous job, I held the position only for 10 months. I was suspended because I left someone's meds in the cart. I decided to quit anyway, bcz of my twin pregnancy.
Overall, my husband thinks i have bad karma. What do you all think about this? I think what they did was full of b.s.!
