I wrote before about "back stabbing STNA......I was fired for "fighting with employee & creating hostile environment for resident"....I never did this but the resident (dementia well documented in her chart) present said I did & family threatened to call ODH if nothing was done. This facility is the worst I have EVER worked in but it was a job. I did the best I could do by all of my residents and tried to give the best possible care everyday despite other LPNs not doing their job.Admin made meguilty and I had NOWAY to prove otherwise.
Now I can not find a job (small town, nothing for miles) and I have been denied unemployment. I NEVER in 25 years have had ANY accusations against me and have always done the best I could for my residents no matter what the facility was like.
I am just getting so depressed about this. I need some advise on what I need to do or where to go for help.
I called an attorney but since this was "at will" employment in Ohio there is nothing to be done legally.
What are unemployed people supposed to do in this great state of Ohio ???
Do not trust the HR person's word for it! Google "job reference checks" or similar and pay a 3rd party (or have a professional-sounding friend like a secretary do it) to call the facility and pretend they're an employer checking you out. You may find that they are attempting to blacklist you. You will never know unless you check! If they are lying then perhaps claim that you never worked there and were caring for sick family members, were ill yourself (mono), etc to cover the employment gap. Be creative and let me know what they are saying.
