   NewerNurseHelp replied to NewerNurseHelp's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

3. Terminated for Violation - HELP!

   NewerNurseHelp replied to NewerNurseHelp's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   That's the main reason that has kept me from looking in to an attorney. I don't want to be "that nurse" that sued her previous employer. It sounds cliche but I really do just want a job taking care...

   NewerNurseHelp replied to NewerNurseHelp's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   I do have all personal contact info for my references. They are literally a supervisor, providers, and co-workers, if that tells you the reputation I had in that office. I had people coming out of...

    NewerNurseHelp replied to NewerNurseHelp's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thank you. I did have insurance but let it lapse due to other issues. Trust me, I am kicking myself now. I was thinking about the "not a good fit" reason but many of my references still work there...
