I only had insurance through them...

The funny thing is that they were singing my praises (I was kind of inexperienced and they gave me a chance) until a few weeks ago when I told my supervisor that I was pregnant. She promised to keep it between us for the time being but everything has been going downhill since...one reason I got pulled into the office was because I didnt smile enough and acted like I didnt want to be there 0_o....I asked is that having any affect on my patient care and they said no but...I've been wanting to quit but stayed after finding out I'm pregnant and now this. I requested a copy of my files because they claim that it's more than this incident. My dad said I should've let them terminate me and let the investigation be done because I wouldn't have been the only one in trouble if that was the case. I just was shocked and not sure what to do. It took me a while to find a full time job after graduating in 2010. I've only been there 5 months. I'm becoming so discouraged with this nursing thing.

Last week, I had a patient admitted on the shift before me that was suppose to be started on IV ABT when it arrived from the pharmacy. The meds came in around 10:30p and I didnt notice that my IV came in. I work on a sub acute floor and usually when the meds come in whoever sign for them leave each nurse their meds in their assigned area..no meds were left for me so I assumed they were going to be in the next run. I passed it on to the next nurse to give it as soon as it came in. My mistake was that I didnt call the pharmacy to see about the med. It turned out that the med did come with the 10:30 run and someone (the supervisor that signed for the meds) put the bag UNDER the desk. So the 11-7 nurse didnt see it either and reordered from the pharmacy. The patient didnt end up getting the ABT until the next 7-3 shift...where they found that the ABT was under the desk. In the end, I was forced to resign because of the incident. I was told that if I didnt resign I would be terminated and an investigation would be done and could affect my license. Doesn't an investigation have to be done anyway? It seems a little fishy that they can make it "go away" only if I resign. Are there any actions that I can take?
