Psychncs, thank you for ideas, I am finding people, they just taking their time. I just found out another person was let go yesterday from my company and noone knows why

IIg, As CNA 5 years, RN almost 2 years. Before CNA i was a groundskeeper for a year :)

NurseDirtyBird, or anyone who was in my situation, who found a job at the end. How do you get references, after you was let go? I feel like noone now wants to talk to me at my previous place. I guess they afraid to get fired too or I dont know. The only recommendation letter I got was from my manager but it sounds more like an explanation of why i was let go and that they strongly believe I will be very successful in new enviroment. Should I even give that letter to potential employer?

[COLOR=#003366]FMF Corpsman, I didnt have the same manager throughout my employment. During my work as a CNA i had managers changing twice on me, when I became an RN a year after I started my manager got fired so new one took over (the one that fired me). She wasnt new but new to the unit. I really dont know who was hired for my position, would be curious to find out though. I also dont think I would want to sue this company, main reason I wouldnt want to be rehired there for obvious reasons. ChicagoRN is right, focus on positive, prepare to move on

Trai1971, thank you for the support

FMF corpman, let me try to answer as much as i can. Noone was hurt as a result of mistake. On the paper it says zero affect on the resident. I am an RN, when was going through school, I was working as a CNA part time. The whole picture. Well, she started out saying she really "dont think it is the right enviroment for you, but there are other enviroments that i know you I would be wonderful in. I dont want you to think you are a bad nurse, it is just not the right enviroment for you" Then she mentioned incomplete charting, those med errors, my level of confidence that needs to be improved.

Wow, so many comments, thank you so much for the support. Kooky Korky, 4 mistakes, but two was not my fault, out of two left was Lidoderm patch not taken off at night. Mistakes had no harm to the patients. I also started to go to church and that experience made me closer to God, I pray that He will help me to get throguh it, give me strength. DSkelton, I was thinking about plan of correction, I think someone else on here offered it as well, everything my manager mentioned I will work on. Charting, I am not sure though, but it is kinda self explanatory, I need more details and revealing my interventions. Pinkfish, I agree it can get very very busy, but as I already heard comment on here in the future I might just have to punch out and finish my work (better than getting fired for sure). JMB nurse, I got my raise twice during the time I worked as an RN, my PPRs was always good, I think last two months my performance was not satisfactory as I had been going through a lot of changes in my life. Fallenangel nurse, I agree, lying is not a sign of confidence nor the way to get a job. Crazierthanyou, I actaully listed that reason:"not a good fit" on my application we will see if it works

JMBnurse, I was a nurse there for almost 2 years, before I was a CNA

JBudd, no she did fire me, I am not sure if I am on the schedule (psychologically I don't even want to step there yet). She didn't offer any corrective measures, I know other co-workers have incomplete charting all the time, she calls them and asks them to rewrite. She did that with me as well. Any time she talked to me it didnt sound like a big deal. I wish my manager would let me know what's coming. I started to think my be because I am from a different country she didnt like me, I don't know. I graduated from here though

Thanks, Bella

I didnt get any warnings, its felt like a total backstab. I will look into refreasher course on meds and charting, won't hurt to do that..

Iluvivt, thank you. I guess what scares me is an interview and what to say after being fired, I never had to hunt for a jobs, or at least forgot how to do it after all this time. I applied for one position yesterday, they had a link "reason for leaving", I put down "let go", how do i get interview like that? I guess I have t learn

TheCommuter, thank you for your comment, during the last 2 months I made two med errors, incomplete charting and, manager said, I need more confidence, also she said she really thinks I need a different enviroment (I worked in nursing home)

Sad and embarracing to admit, but It just happened last friday. Manager said I need to find a different enviroment where I would be a better fit. Friends recommend start looking for a job agressively and I feel so defeated. How do you find courage and strength, not to mention another job, after you had been let go? What do you say on the interview when they ask what happened? I almost don't want to be a nurse anymore as I feel so unappreciated..
