could get fired!

[RNmoms]

Nervous, my daughter is a very good nurse and after 6 months on the job got a really good raise. However, the other night a male nurse was really busy and he asked my daughter if she would take a test for his other nurse friend because she didn't finish and is on vacation and the test was due by midnight. Erin tried to help out and said yes, and he gave her this other nurses codes and passwords. Well, my daughter got caught and was yelled at. Now she is worried she will be fired. Does anyone know if this has ever happened before to anyone and do you think she will get fired. she is so mad at herself. she knows better.

Hush now, baby, baby, don't you cry

Mama's gonna make all of your nightmares come true

Mama's gonna put all of her fears into you

Mama's gonna keep you right here under her wing

She won't let you fly but she might let you sing

Mama's gonna keep baby cosy and warm

Great pink Floyd song!

I know many times that I have an issue, I'll do research on my own without actually sharing it with many people. I'm grateful for the concern but I personally don't like people in my business too much, to the point where at times I'll altogether refrain telling people anything, just so I won't be asked about its progress.

Well said! There are times I don't want to discuss issues because I don't want to think about them for a time.

I think your daughter needs to take responsibility for her practice. Mom can't fix everything, and in any case, if she is old enough to have graduated from nursing school and gotten a license, then she needs to be responsible for her job performance.

Also, I hope "Erin" is a pseudonym and not really her name. You've given out a lot of information for others to figure out who you're talking about. Don't make things worse by violating her right to confidentiality.

I'm really enjoying how people are bashing the concerned parent asking on behalf of her child. Ever occur to anyone that maybe the girl wanted to solve it on her own, and didn't want to run to a forum of strangers and ask their opinion? Ever occur to anyone that maybe mom is so concerned for her daughters career that she wanted a better insight as to the possible consequences her daughter could be facing ?

I know many times that I have an issue, I'll do research on my own without actually sharing it with many people. And I do this because I know my folks would react in a similar fashion ---freak out and ask everyone they could find and have ever met to try to help me through the situation. I'm grateful for the concern but I personally don't like people in my business too much, to the point where at times I'll altogether refrain telling people anything, just so I won't be asked about its progress.

Hope things turn out for the best for the daughter, but as echoed by many others, termination seems likely, but not definite. If she's as good a nurse as described and doesn't have much other infractions, administration may be inclined to pursue a less severe course of action

This doesn't make sense. You're complaining that people are bashing the mom for doing exactly what you would not want your parents to do - spread your business all over a forum.

Helicopter parents don't help, no matter how they feel they do. They meddle and insulate, which actually works against the child.

Mom, let your child learn. Don't intervene, don't tell her how horrible the boss is, don't tell her how special and misunderstood she is. Be kind but resolute. The kind Gods gave us legs for a reason - let her stand on them for a change.

At my workplace she would have been terminated on the spot. Since that did not happen, perhaps she will get suspended. Regardless, she falsified information by logging in as another user, which is dishonest. I'm not sure I'd want to work with a nurse like this.

Well, I'm v. curious to hear how this all turned out -- but I'm guessing we're not going to.
