    Missingyou replied to ZachrielX's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Coworker refused to help me and then reported me!

    Missingyou replied to ArtfulGem's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Fired for insubordination and wrong violation information

    Missingyou replied to Proud2bcna's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The question really is, are the accusations true? The date can be just a mix up and they will just fix it if it's wrong. If you were, infact. suspended with cause, the date won't
