Thank you Kesr! I will definitely post the outcome.

Thank you for your optimistic reply DonaldJ! If it turns out that i am officially jobless I will definitely start to look for a new job. But i am very sad because I actually love this job. I thought I found my niche... I hope my sad experience will help other new nurses to avoid similar situations.

I called DEPARTMENT OF LABOR. I can try to negotiate a severance package but it probably won't work. I am still on probation period so can be dismissed without a reason.

Yes I did give my 2 weeks notice and left on good terms from the doctor's office. I know, however, they won't take me back. They hired another nurse already. I was so happy to get this home care job and finally thought I can relax and pay my bills on time... How ironic...

Oh believe me I cried! And it was for real. I think my manager likes my performance ( I worked hard and finished my orientation before deadline with 100% passing rate). He was so happy to send me on the field next week. My fear is that he is that type of manager who tries to please his bosses at all costs and keep his reputation spotless. I know he can make an exception to rules; I am not sure if he wants to.

my manager is young(35 or so) and new to the company(5 months). he gets chills when the corporate calls him. so i am afraid that he would rather get rid of "his mistake" before his superiors find out. he said that he needs to think and will let me know tomorrow morning about his decision. it would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad!

Thank you for your advice. What upset me the most is that I quit my previous job and can not go back. I have to work because I am a single parent of two kids and have no other income. Just can not believe this situation!

I actually think that he liked my performance because he assigned the patients to me for the next week. This morning he had the interview with a potential nurse manager. He even invited me to be present during the interview an let me participate. When he introduced me to the lady, she was quiet surprised and said it is unusual to see a new grad in home health care. My manager (who is also a director) replied that "this is not the topic of this conversation". So i truly believe he really "screwed up" and didn't read the document that he asked me to sign. I understand that I am responsible for signing the contract. I just thought that it is up to the clinical director a.e. branch manager to decide if the candidate qualifies.

Don't even know how to start. I am a new nurse. I graduated in May and started working in the doctor's office right away. Got my license in June. In September I got another job offer from a home health care agency (psych branch). During the interview I emphasized to the manager that I only have 2 months of experience. I know that usually this position would require at least one year of experience, nevertheless I accepted the offer. I signed my job description which clearly stated that the requirement for the full time registered nurse position is one year of experience. My manager co-signed it. Today he called me in his office and said that he "screwed up" because according to the agency policy he wasn't suppose to hire a newly licensed nurse. So here I am shocked and speechless. I will probably be fired because of my manager's mistake... I quit my previous job to get this position... Is there anything I can do? Thank you.
