Wow. Thanks for clarification on that i will pass that on ,alot of peeps ,myself included are not aware of that fact. Hopefully her HR dept will just give basics, i asked mine what their process is and they said they just verify dates... but again the devil usually wears a smile.... the phonecall to HR representing a potential employer may be best indicator.... does anyone know what questions or proceedure is followed??

Gm, I recently went through this same type of situation, a " violation of company policy" that had caused no harm , injury or danger to my patients or their environment or any deviation from my role as RN within the legal scope of my License. Unfortunately without a union and NJ law that states one can be fired without cause it is an extremely difficult position to be placed in and defend if they want you gone.... i got" at this juncture along with your clear message insinuating that you have issues with how we determine our decisions and manage our facility we have decided to let you go". I pretty much knew the meeting was just a formality to ensure they retrieved my ID and facility keys. Though i have never been "let go" or fired I actually felt relieved as i left the premises. Nursing is a passion, hard work, team work and there never is enough time in the day/ shift to get to it all...it is a 24/7 profession. We are A very special type of person that can take on the role and responsibility of caring ,teaching and helping others when they are at their most vulnerable and are in need of help. Physically, mentally , emotionally they put their trust in us.... some immediately, many fearfully, and for the tougher ones, extremely hesitantly lol , but most of us challenge resistance, persevere and work hard to gain trust so at the end of the day /shift ,we can be humbled and grateful that we did our best to make a difference . No matter how small it may have been, if it made the positive list its a win !!! The facility i worked at did not applaud or appreciate the Nurse and our contributions, shamefully it was all about The census and filling the beds .....whether we could meet their needs or not if they had insurance we had a bed..... ( one of my issues with mgmt clearly). End of the day, you are an RN you will find a job , HR dept are not legally permitted to say if u were fired or resigned, just if they would rehire you. Request a letter of Employment with your hire date and end date on company letterhead it should not state anything else and attach to ur resume, i have been told that works as well and saves time on verifying by phone call . Some now ask for email addresses. U can request cc of any email correspondence ur previous employer receives from prospective employers, although that may be stretching it.... they are not obligated i dont think to copy you... Cant hurt.... i just requested same.. I will keep u posted. Sorry for ranting on!! I soooo hate control freaks, nepotism and BS!! Good news...This to shall pass and everything Will be OK?
