Just wanted to let everyone know I hired a lawyer and met with the board and both determined I have been wrongly terminated. The person who started the IV went to our assistant manager and told her an extremely exaggerated story of what happened like literally. Everyone else who was there that day agreed with my story of events and the essentially couldn't even address me being impaired or asleep because I would have had to be drug and alcohol tested immediately and I would have been fired in the sootnif sleeping. No action is going to taken on my license and I got lectured more than anything about the event I did not violate any of the nurse practice act but imnhapoy this situation is over with. My investigation was complete in 3 days and my meeting with the board lasted 30 minuets

Thank you I found a lawyer and I met with the board next week.

Thank you the lawyers here said they couldn't represent me because I didn't have any criminal charges. I called an office left a voicemail I'm in NC as well if you don't mind I would love to call you to hear your story and elaborate more in mine

Yes I did get seen under the table I was literally in the room for less than 30 minuets I did not see a doctor nurses offered to care for me

I got an official report from the board honestly.

Hello, i have been a RN for 4 years. I recently relocated to another state where I worked in the ER. One week I worked 5 days in a row and was instructed by severa staff members to go to an empty room in minor care where they placed an IV in me. My charge nurse even recommended I lay down and get some rest. I told her I didn't need to lay down but I received IV fluid and continued at work. Two weeks later my director called me in and stated she received a report that I was sleep for 2 hours , was tired and needed an IV because I consumed too much alcohol the night before and eventually I was terminated. I never went to sleep and I never said I was drank alcohol the day before. I worked an entire 12 hour shift and unfortunately fired because of the situation. 30 days later I received a letter in the mail stating a complaint was filed from my former employee for stealing IV fluids , sleeping on the job , and possible impairment. I feel as if I have been fasely accused. Has anyone ever delt with this situation before and what should I expect ? I have never been fired from a job or been in any trouble before. My license still has not been flagged and was encouraged by the board rep to continue school and work I am currently in a MSN education class. Any advice ? What to do ? What to expect ?
