The hospital fired me for complaints from family. They never got my side of the story first, they automatically wrote me up as they have with other employees. I even had the charge nurse back me up about an unreasonable family member that complained about both of us, but they fired me anyway even though she talked to the director about this person. I worked as a critical care nurse for 14 years, received many thanks from pts and families for the care I provided & got along with all my coworkers and doctors. I've had to deal with difficult families that claimed I said or did things I did not say or do, ie "their word against mine" situations. What should I say to a prospective interviewer about getting fired for complaints from family? Has anyone else been fired for the same reason?
