   I understand that it is not "illegal" to give negative information to potential employers of employees terminated, but it does create the opportunity for liability and most employers have policies that restrict their employees from enagaging in the p...

   I appreciate the support, and I realize that a rehab hospital has to be run as a business, and make a profit in order to deliver a high quality of care. And I honestly believe my supervisor just did not like me, but that doesn't make her a horrible p...

   I realize that this was a petty problem from an inexperienced nurse and as a result I really appreciate all of the comments you, the posters took the time to express. They were not very critical, but some were mildly critical or at least honest about...

    I appreciate you sharing your experience with me. Your sharing has lifted my sense of failure to a certain degree and I appreciate that. If the termination had been based on something other than a 9 minute error on a sign in sheet, witnessed by perso...
