Well, today was my special day! I got fired from my job for giving one (yes, one) injection wrong, and for telling some lady I wasn't trained on how to use an EpiPen. Apparently all of that deems me "unable to safely practice as a nurse" according to them.
And then they had the nerve to ask me if I wanted to work as a scribe with a $15 pay cut. I was SO offended.
How do you guys deal with this? ? I've already applied to new jobs but....IDK. It's just hard to all take in....
Also, I'm pretty sure the lady I told was from the state. Why am I not allowed to be honest with people on things I don't know? Why didn't they just train me, instead of just firing me? I just don't get it. It seems like their goal was to just get rid of me.
There is no crime in admitting you need a refresher on a skill. I rarely tied restraints and I asked a CNA to show me. She showed me and then I asked her to watch me do it. She said "at least you asked, most do not". She was always approachable and I told her "I appreciate your time and review...I don't do this often".
