I have been a nurse-BSN going after my Msn, for four years I have seen it, bottom line is this, people in management get scared when they see someone who is a better nurse than them. I had a 2 yr RN as my supervisor, I also was going for my masters degree, two other unit managers where also in masters progress, they dragged up trumped up charges on ALL three of us within a month, and all three of us where fired, NO, it is not the end, just say you wanted to move on. Keep in mind these Director of nursing people, had their "click", clicks are dangerous. In obummas economy, jobs are hard to find even for nurses, if economey ever comes back, things will be different. Right now they can fire you for anything, they have hundreds of nurses looking for work.
