Hi, there, am new to thissite and new to nursing as well. I am a new grad who was terminated after 3months of orientation. I worked on brurn/ trauma unit. They say I was not fast enough,don't manage my time efficiently , don't give good report( they want me to givereport on all my pt. without looking at my paper), SBAR communication etc. andas a result they feel as if I wasn'tcaring for the patients as a whole. Although I agree with what they say I feltif I was given more time I could have improved .But I guess time has run out onme. I was scheduled to be off orientation after two days but all of a suddenthey change their idea of extending my orientation to terminating me. They saythey "don't feel extending my orientation by a week or two would not doanything since as I wasn't able to prove to them that I am able to do this jobby myself within the three month I was there." I disagree with this, I think myissue was something that can be improved with time but it is what it is . i am greatful i was given the chance to work there even if it was only for three month:(

What should I do? I am so worried that perspective employers see my terminationas a red flag and don't call me for interview. What should I say when they askwhy I was fired? I am planning to say it did not workout but it was a greatopportunity and I learned a lot.

I applied to this job that a nurse I know guaranteed me I will get the positionbut they haven't called me yet. I think it could be because I honestly put downon the application that I was terminated and checked yes on one of those boxesthat say ]"Have you ever been discharged/asked to resign? Oh my god pleases help. Would it beillegal if I don't mention this job on job application from now on since I onlyworked there for three month? I just don't want my career in nursing to stop beforeit starts just because my first job in nursing was not successful. Pleasehelpppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp and thank you in advance.
