I did not file anything with the police. I guess you get so use to this in a nursing home you no longer think you have rights.

The termination was reversed. As I had already turned in a letter of resignation and had planned to leave for another position prior to this happening. Corporate did not respond back the DON called.

I'm relieved to say that after talking to a lawyer I called corporate. Explaining I felt I was unfairly fired. Never once was I asked what led up to this. And given that I had a spotless record this should be considered. Also I had turned in my resignation a week prior so it's on record that I resigned. Not that I was fired. Also the DON told me she never filed it with the board. Only a lesser council of aging. Years of advocating for other people finally paid off. I've never actually advocated for myself before but will continue to fight this.

Hi, I've been a nurse for nine years. The facility I did work for was great. In four years I haven't been wrote up, made a med error and picked up extra shifts. This is what I'm hoping to get some advice on. At the end of a shift that I had been kick in the stomach, had my hair pulled and had good size scratches down my arm, I was pinned in my chair up against the nursing station by a larger resident in a wheel chair. This resident had been persistent all shift. Now we can try non pharmaceutical interventions however none of them seemed to work. I had wheeled him over to his own hall several times but he came back.I What he wanted was to go into a females room. No can do! This is how I made the biggest mistake of my life. I looked at the ceiling and let out a swear. You guessed. I don't work there anymore and they plan on reporting me for abuse of a resident. So having a rough day can go very wrong. Doesn't matter what happened. Really does encourage one to lie the next time. Stupid me was honest about it. Had anyone ever been here? I never would have imagined.
