So, I've gotten fired, after 1 year and 1/2 at my job. The "evidence" for firing me was pretty flaky. 2 things that i had no control over and the crowning glory was that I hung on to an item that needed to be wasted. i hung on to it because no one seemed to know how to waste it in the pyxis. Apparently one can only waste once. I wasted partial dose as per policy, then did not give patient entire amount left. I wanted her to keep breathing, imagine that!) I needed to waste it but no one knew how. Apparently my sin was in holding it until i could get direction on what to do. My documentation over it was perfect though, right down to the name of the pharmacist that gave me direction (finally!) on what to do.
Ok so they can me. The place was toxic and frankly a dangerous place to work. Of course I have to inform the program and i dutifully do, then they have to call the person that canned me and this ****** says she "has concerns about my safety to practice" What????? So this now triggers a $1000 evaluation. What on earth for???? I'm not even stuck in this for drug issues, but rather mental health. Why, for all that is holy, do i have to go through all this AGAIN?? What is a hair test and my dang life story going to tell anyone anything????
I think this was manufactured reasons for termination and possibly in retaliation for the fact that I objected to a crappy performance review that was written by a person that is frankly a bully and was very personal in nature and inappropriate (and full of lies).
I don't think the person that remarked this to the program would have said a darn thing if they had not had to call her. nor do I think that she has any clue (or cares) what she has triggered.
and off to house hunt today. Job starts 11/7 and they gave me a relocation bonus too!!!! It is so nice to be wanted. I've not had this good a gig since 2008 when i was dumb enough to leave the huge university teaching hospital that I was at. The $$ is more than I've ever made in my life. THe only downside is that you can't find a place to live for less than 1400 a month. S'ok....I'm still happy as a pig in ****. :-)
Specializes in ER, ICU/CCU, Open Heart OR Recovery, Etc.

Great stuff! It's ok to be happy as a pig in ****. What a good feeling to be wanted, respected and getting a relocation bonus. There is light at the end of the tunnel.
It seems that the light at the end of my tunnel was a train. My (almost) supervisor had the requisite chat with the case manager. i don't know what that woman said but the end result is that my job offer is probably getting rescinded. It's over the BS call issue for one. And the specific language of the "direct supervision" thing, for two. This talk happened on Friday morning. Nobody (like the case manager) thought that it was important enough to call me?? Nope! I found out about it, late Saturday night when I went on affinity to look up something.
In the meantime (between this conversation and me finding out about it) I have broken my lease on my apartment, signed a new lease on a house near the job and mostly packed my apartment. I am gonna have some HUGE problems if this implodes on me.
I have an awesome chance to get my life back and move on and this ****** useless joke of a program is ruining it.
I've done every last little thing they've wanted for 2 years. What do they want from me? Puke up a metric ton of money and all of my dignity and self respect and then walk away from my license and go work at Wal Mart?
