Run, Don't stay there...You don't wanna japordise your/your pts' safety ie your license...Don't work in a toxic work environment...I'm a new nurse, been in the workforce thou more than two decades...leaving after 6 months don't make you a job hopper....

the whole post is screaming buuuullllyyyy.

Hi nursing pals, Do you have any legal claims (e.g filing for grievance with union, etc) against your referee who cost you losing a job? (The reference who was SUPPOSED to give you a good recommendation, BUT did not)...Any thought? Thx:)

THANK. YOU....You got my point!!

By you, I didn't mean you elkpark... WOW, so much microaggretion here!!

And, you are a nurse...So, yeah, it's like a scenario on street across the hospital...The difference thou is you as a nurse would code the person, AND, could start CPR if comfortable not to waste the precious time???

Did you ask your preceptor?

Today, I talked to one of them in the interview panel (2 persons interviewed, and one person was taking note)...She said my interview was good, but after so and so talked to your supervisor, he was not impressed...l talked to her about the stuff th...

I mentioned it somewhere here...I called them...They directly told me bc of my reference...Besides, I know how I did on my interview...

Not that all employers would give written recommendation...Mine was done over the phone...When I was in school, our instructors emphasized when we ask for a reference, we should also ask them if they would be able to give us a good recommendation.Thi...

You know why people, in situations like this, use this forum to post their questions/concerns due to which feel frustratrd/helpless: They want to VENT and get information whilst remain anonymous...The fact that you wonder how much "MORE" there is to ...

Oh, no...Sure, as heck she wouldn't be In my reference list... And, again lets discuss your given example: when you were not punctual, or you called in sick once in a month, etc, and these things were your weakness which you supervisor didn't like......

I do NOT agree...References are supposed to be nonjudgmental, professional, hence objective...Think it as evaluations, which are required to be objective...As a matter of fact, in cases like this you could present your prospective employer with the c...

You bet...it's complicated perse...But, I just wanna sit and talk to them....This situation is sooo frustrating...

And, sure opinions are subjective...I meant although references are supposed to be objective...But, realistically they could hardly remain objective...The line between the two could get blurry...

I might have...It all depends on what my supervisor had told the prospective employer about me...

Haha, you have legal obligation to be truthful as a reference.

Hey, you are GOOD!!!

LOL...I don't know how the heck these 'question marks' poped up...was punching 'thums up's.

Yes, I'm aware of it...I'm in Canada... Thanks a bunch for the detailed infoí ½í±í ½í±

The question "Did they tell the truth" is applicable when the employee had some issues...like causing multiple incidences, proven being rude, being on IPP, etc...And, again references USUALLY give their "point of view" about their staff even when try...

Not exactly, I'm gonna figure it out soon thuo...I have an appointment with the prospective employer.

OK, let me clarify something here: Nurse are required to be truthful in their practice including interacting with their colleagues/staff/superviser...A reference who stated positively/clearly she would give good recommendation for you and did not, in...

Oh, and yes she did not say good things about me...

Hey Caliotter3, referee is a formal word for reference....In articles, the two are used interchangeably....And, thx for the reply :)
