I'm sorry this happened to you. We're all human and we all make mistakes. You did the right thing by owning up to your mistake and staying with the patient. There are nurses who wouldn't and would try to sweep it under the rug. You didn't deserve to be fired. I would make sure you still list this job on your resume. Better to be honest about it. I know you feel terrible. It's ashame your facility wasn't more understanding and supportive. Try not to be hard on yourself. Take it as a learning experience...it's a tough one...but you'll turn out to be a better nurse for it!

I decided I will call first thing in the morning. If anything it will help give me peace of mind and also remind them I'm very interested. It definitely couldn't hurt. Hopefully, I'll get the outcome I'm hoping and praying for! Thanks everyone :)

Thanks! Unfortunately that's what I'm afraid of. From what I know there are two positions but they could probably end up hiring from within. They even have a part time position posted as we speak. Ah well, I'll just have to try not to think about it! It will be disappointing if they don't offer me a position. Just have to remember if it's meant to be, it's meant to be. Life goes on Sorry to hear about your situation. Sucks they never got back to you until months later! I would probably have had to say the same thing!

Hello everyone! So it's just been about 3 weeks since I interviewed for a maternity position at a hospital that I've always wanted to work for. I thought the interview went really well! The manager was very nice and easy to talk to. She asked me to come and shadow which I did 2 weeks ago and I enjoyed my day on the floor. The staff was great. The nurse I shadowed with was very sweet. I loved the unit. After my day on the floor was done, I checked in with the manager. She asked me how my day went. I told her I loved everything. That I could see myself working there. She seemed very happy to hear that. She said that they had two more candidates to interview but she said I would probably hear by the end of next week. Well last week came and went and no word. I was hoping maybe I would hear something on monday or yesterday but still nothing. I did send out thank you letters to the manager and nurse recruiter (who also interviewed me). Even at this moment, I keep looking at my cell phone and checking my email. I hate feeling so anxious. My heart flutters like crazy whenever my phone rings! I thought about giving a call to the nurse recruiter to check on the status but I feel I should at least give it to the end of the week. It's possible that they're busy. Maybe they haven't made a decision yet. Maybe they had to reschedule the interviews. I'm staying hopeful though. A friend of mine also applied for the same position and interviewed. I know about a week ago she received a rejection email and then phone call. So I'm thinking no news is good news (for now). What do you guys/gals think? Should I give it a few more days or call them today? By the way, thank you to any one who listens and responds to my post. It feels so good just to get it all off my chest! Also just to note: I have 5 years of maternity experience so hopefully that will lean towards my favor as well.

The student in question may have been lazy. or She may have exhausted all her resources and was reaching out to others who may have some knowledge on the subject. Either way you don't know if she was doing her research or not. In life you pick and choose your battles. How does this affect your life? It's silly because you are not even a student! Can you sleep at night knowing you could possibly get this student in trouble if she was only just reaching out for help? It seemed like you already had made your mind up to report the girl before you even posted this. Not to be rude but I would really try to find other and more meaningful things to fill your time with.
