I am going through the same thing. They fired me for not hanging an IV bag. No other discipline issues before this. They just wanted to get rid of a 50 yr old RN (Me) for 3 LPN's in 20's/30's making less money then I was. So glad they stand by their ...

Thanks for your response and encouraging words. I am an RN and the medication was actually NSS. The bag was to be continuous & changed on each shift. Supposedly the person went to the hospital and their trying to say it was because the bag wasnt ...

...Thats the thanks (and respect ) I get for 2 yrs of hard work and dedication. No write ups prior to warning just suspended for not hanging an IV bag of saline. Then when the pt went to the hosp (from LTC) not sure but I think it was 2 days after no...

In Illinois they have to either let you look @ file or make you copies (which they can charge you for et. has to be a reasonable fee)they have 7 days to do this. If they do not comply after another 7 days you can contact The Dept of Labor. I have to...

i got written up at work and am currently suspended for a few days. when i went in to work the other night to see a fellow employee i was told by my peers that i was fired. i told them i was not told this. when i got disciplinary action there were 3 ...

What should I write on the resignation. She accused me of a few things that werent true and I can back them up. I would really like to look at my employee file and some other relevant paperwork.??Help/Hurry.I was going to go to the unemployment offic...

Thanks i really feel better that I no longer work there. It was almost an embarassment (to say I worked there or when family members would come in). The way resident care has declined because their so short staffed and do not want to spend money for ...

Thanks for the encouraging words.. its nice to know there are still nice, caring people et.nurses left in the world. Cause all I've seen lately are cold heartless woman that are in this profession for only a job/$$$ and to take good people down...to...

well its too late for that I talked to the DON on the phone and she terminated me gave me a few other bogus reasons. I asked for a warning told her I would go to a different shift but in the end she/they had made up their minds. I am tempted to call ...

Im in the same position except I got suspended for not hanging an IV bag. The resident went to the hosp (a few days later) but has since returned to the facility. I received no prior warning and had no prev offense. Today my suspension is over I have...

im not sure what you mean by constructive d/c ruling? From who? and what does IOW stand for? I have a meeting today to probably ge fired. Should I have my resignation letter in hand to give to them? Im so nervous.

thanks!:heartbeat

thanks for the response yes it would have been nice to get a warning first unstead of a written warning with a threat "if this happens again you will be terminated":devil:

Im not sure what OP means either. maybe opressed?

Thanks you are probably right!

I didnt hang an IV bag schedule on MAR for 11-7 shift. I think the res. was sent to the hospital a few days later so I think they are going to blame me for that. Either way I shouldnt have signed the suspension or I should have at least made comments...

I didnt think they were but I havent had any lawyer to back me up. Thanks for the encouraging words:loveya:

No other offenses other than a verbal for being late. But they did hire a bunch of new younger LPN's so now they no longer need me as they did just 2 weeks ago when they begged me to work OT.. or 2 months ago when they talked me in to staying after I...

Deb- thankyou so much for your response. Im not sure about the motivation behind why the nurse called me. I got a feeling shes in on the whole thing :argue:because she was trying to get me to resign..she said "Im trying to give you an out here" plus ...

I havent been officially fired yet but have a meeting tommorrow. I was suspended for not hanging an IV bag. (NSS)(Thursday AM) They said further offenses would result in termination. Today I was told by a peer RN who called me @ home that she was tol...
