Interestingly, I just got my "ties severed" with a company I have worked with for 4 1/2 years because of someone like this. I ran my butt off all the time and the other nurses sit at the desk and chart things that they haven't done. I have followed these nurses the next day and patients say they didn't see a nurse for at least 8 hours the day before. I am not the only one that has heard these kind of complaints. Management made aware, so they came after me saying my charting was inadequate. Wrote me up on 10/13, suspended me 1 hour later and then pulled a chart from 3 months ago and fired me yesterday. My advice, if you are having to go to a disciplinary hearing, get out. They are probably out for job. I wish I had taken this advice from a friend of mine before it was too late. How do I explain to prospective employers why I no longer work at my previous employment?
