Lost my internship!

[Sarah8714]

It seems that when the bad news starts it is all down hill....

I have been in the midst of recovering from failing NCLEX last Thursday by finding out through quick results. I told my manager that I thought I failed but it is not official per the BNE. She said that day that we would work around it until I get official word. The next day they sent me home because I was no longer a GN and to let them know when I can retest. I then found out all the information and the BNE stated that my GN was still valid until I received the paperwork in the mail (14 to 21 days). I then gave her several options such as stay in the classes as a GN or even at tech pay and then work as a nurse tech or monitor tech until I can retest in 50 days if they needed me to. Yesterday, she then told me that if I could not get written proof that I passed by Monday I was no longer employed. There were only four more days left out of a month long internship!

I guess the old saying "Nurses eat their young if definetly true!"

We won't consider reputations here, will we? How can you do that in good conscience? If you lie over something like this, what else wil the person lie about? The OP was correct in notifying her manager.

Well, I was told by my BON not to tell your employer if you passed/failed without your results directly from the BON. Those are the only official results and the only ones an employer should take action upon.

I don't think it makes good business either. i mean, they invested four weeks into her, just to let her go? they should have offered another position until she passed boards... by this time, she knows the workings of the hospital, ect.
