    People keep telling me exactly what you are saying here. It’s just a matter of trying to convince me of it! It all makes a lot of sense but... Hopefully I get one of those moments of omg what the heck are you doing! But for now maybe I will take ...

    I worked at a retirement home for 18 years. I was since terminated. One of the reasons is that I had two falls happen at the same time and apparently didn’t handle it up to standards. I quickly assessed one woman and moved her and got her up. I t...

    When I hear that seniors there are asking about me then I know I have been a good nurse! When they wonder where I went and why I am not there anymore then I know! I have had someone say to me “I feel safe when you are here”. Or another that said “ma...

    Our union was very poor prior to this situation! That’s why I ended up here in the first place! The one rep wasn’t very supportive, they are suppose to work like a lawyer would and she didn’t! I have a new rep now since she left so hopefully it go...

    Well May 3 is pretty much the day I find out whether or not I will be reinstated. If I don’t go back well I guess I need to figure something else out. And too late for that I am already depressed!

    I am getting Employment Insurance for the time being but it’s not a lot so am living off credit. It’s also hard to find a new job when you are terminated. Like what do you say to the new employer? And if you don’t say anything they will ask if the...

    And like the one person said here is that I did do a neuro assessment but it wasn’t done according to the form. Yes BP and pupil size etc is important. But so is their orientation and any other signs. Like one nurse said to me not all assessments ...

    And I guess this is the point I was trying to make in blaming management. No of course I don’t blame management for my errors but I do blame them for discord between staff and poisoned work environment. Divide and conquer is def their style! Guess...

    Yes thrown under the bus is def how I see it! Yes $ is all they care about! My co worker keeps saying how they have forgotten who has brought them to success! They were open only a few years before I started! Who got them to where they are at 18 ...

    They hired personal support workers to replace me on night shift. So yes I would say they got rid of me so they could pay the psws less $$. And to the message before the last one, you don’t have to agree with me but get all the facts before you pa...

    Yes people told me that too but I didn’t listen! Yes kinda hard if you only have the energy for one job!

    They created the stress for me, took my leaves, then they fired me! Welcome to nursing life! The gratitude and appreciation is overwhelming! ?
  14. Falls

    I took a few sick leaves due to anxiety and depression but also stress from them. They probably didn’t feel like paying for that anymore!

    She was acting normal and responding etc. We just have a “new” form that includes BP and checking pupils. I didn’t do those things as I didn’t bring the BP monitor or flashlight with me. There were some minor issues that I have on my record prior ...

    Weight bearing, mobility, ROM and pain. I will find out in a couple of weeks if I will be reinstated. If not then hopefully severance. I have been reading up on things and it seems that there is some hope. There isn’t much more I can do than tha...

    The new manager gave me a letter every week since she started. Which certainly doesn’t give me time to improve or change anything. When they first started they had a meeting and stated “if there is a bad apple, we dispose of it”. This to me sounde...

    Unfortunately there is a paper trail for minor issues. But it’s not about the same issue over and over again. I have since corrected those issues. So they did do the progressive discipline but it may not have been done correctly. Well it appears...

    However, I don’t think here in Canada that they had “just cause” for dismissal. They actually have to explain to you what the issue is and provide ways for you to improve. They didn’t do any of that.
  20. Falls

    You are right.

    “It is clear, that despite having a policy for 5 years, you failed to meet the expectations of the facility. For that reason alone, you can be found to be negligent and justifiably fired. The remaining details are irrelevant, truly. ...
  22. Falls

    There was one person who responded and said it was “negligent” and grounds for termination. Maybe you didn’t but yes I got that.

    Also, an older nurse with clearly more experience, who is retired from there now, did not do neurovitals on any one either. So that tells you how much things have changed in “nursing 101” . Sorry we never did them unless the Dr ordered it or the h...

    Wow the comments here sure did change from yesterday! Thank you for this! When I made that statement re more training before people were quick to insult and criticize me!! You don’t learn a lot in a retirement home tbh! The prob was that we had a...

    They also condoned this omission of neuro vitals in the past by myself and others. They never investigated to see if others were doing this as well. They never sat down with me to ask what exactly happened or why I didn’t do certain things etc etc....
