I filed. I'm just very nervous that they will deny me. I've never been in this situation before so I'm not quite sure what determines whether or not I will actually get unemployment.

Yes you are correct that this would not be considered wrongful termination by legal definition.

Hello, looking for advice. Had my first experience with what I believe to be wrongful termination. Suspected verbal abuse was reported against me on 4/19 but I was not suspended or even aware of the report until 5/28. Resident also reported me for supposedly withholding her medication. Medication was asked for an hour prior to me even being at work however resident specifically said I was on duty at the time. Prior nurse had no action taken against her. Both accusations against me proved false, suspension was lifted early and I returned to work. Was told to avoid her and to take someone in the room with me if I needed to go in which at times I did because she had a roommate that needed care. For example, the roommate was lethargic and slurring her speech shortly after a fall so I asked another nurse to come in with me while I evaluated roommate. She continued to report me for the times I entered the room to care for her roommate because she didn't want me in there at all. The roommate did excellent with therapy, and I asked her while I was working if she could come out of the room for her needs when possible. Because the resident who repeatedly accused me was still in my assignment, I would prepare all of her medications at the med cart and give them to the fellow nurse I would be working with to administer. Another nurse was doing the same thing with a resident she was not allowed to interact with and this was deemed OK. Received a phone call saying that I was suspended again pending another investigation. Was then fired with no reason given over the phone. Was told I could appeal, and all info would be mailed to me but that I only had 5 days to do so from date of termination letter. Asked for my letter via email since I was worried I wouldn't be able to appeal in time. Termination letter has many lies within it. Stated that I was verbally abusive on 5/28 and received guidance from the NHA(never heard of them). Said that I was non-compliant by entering resident's room and administered medications to her when I was told not to enter that room unless there was an emergency. Email was sent to my administrator. Documents were never received in the mail.
