Fired for "sounding like I'm high"....

[Knuckles31]

So today I got a call from the DON of the placed where I worked at and she stated that "We are going to have to let you go. The doctor just got done chewing me out because she thinks that you are incompetent, don't know what you are doing, and sounded like you were high during the phone call (even though other nurses where guiding me during the call). I know I screwed up a few times while I was there due to this being my first nursing job, but something seems really wrong with the way they fired me. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has had awkward phone conversations with doctors. I got the information that needed to be communicated to her. I had an even more awkward conversation with a on call doctor who had a thick accent, but I didn't receive a complaint from her. I had trouble delegating CNA's, some who were just plain lazy and didn't care, others who had a severe attitude problem. Things were getting better, until I received the call. I talked to a few other people and they think I should look into the department of labor and see if I can file a wrongful termination claim. I'm just not sure. Any advice?

I work at a place that is also unprofessional. The Cnas were always very difficult! Idk what it is with them but some of them are so damn lazy it's hard for them to wanna do anything correctly like collecting intake and output for the shift. Always have an attitude! So hard to be a nurse AND a Cna sometimes! Going on to continue my education so I can work at a place that have people of more intellect and understanding than drama stupidity and ********.
