my friend recently graduated with ASN and was fired after working 7mo at longterm/rehab center.
(he worked 4 years there total as dietary aide and cna during RN school)
he was fired for admitting to handing a CNA medication to give to a resident.
(he is now very aware of his mistake)
he found another job at another nursing home but is desperately trying to get a job at an acute care center/hospital.
recently he was interviewed for a local hospital and gave his work history and told his potential employer he was terminated, understood why, and that he currently works PRN and is seeking a fulltime job at the hospital.
the interviewer allowed him to orient on floor but did not hire him
should he keep on his resume his work experience where he was fired at?
or should he take it off his resume and simply say he started working later as a nurse about 6 mo. after he graduated?
he is currently working on BSN.
no disciplinary action was taken against him thru nursing board/state/law.
thoughts?
should he or should he not remove his work experience at the place in which he was terminated?
