Thank you for your support. I wish I worked with nurses like you.

I work at a small nursing home( less than 55 residents) for a little over 2 yrs. On May the 19th a new nurse started working. She's an RN with 30 yrs experience. She was suppose to just do weekend coverage. She orientated with me for 5 days. When the new schedule came out I noticed she was scheduled the same days I was. This woman is very good friends with the administrator. When I got off duty I called the DON and asked why the schedule looked that way and she informed me that she was going to let me go because she didn't think a nursing home was my "forte". I was in shock. Never heard anything from her that there was a problem with my work or anything. I believe I was discriminated against just so somebodys friend could have a job. Meanwhile the RN has now refused to work my schedule when she found out I had been let go. Where do I go from here?

Thanks for the info. Will check some other programs in St. Louis area.

Thanks for the info.

Was looking into their LPN to RN program and was wondering if there are any recent grads out there that can give me any information about your expierience there.
