I received letter from opd to come in for meeting on investigation of alleged delegation of respiratory treatment for a patient to a nurse assistant. Should I contact a lawyer or not?

I had a clean record never even a verbal in four years working there. Just hoping to try to find job, sucks to have to put terminated on job application. Just have to pick myself up and put myself out there and stop fretting over this. They made huge deal about scope of practice with this, I even asked for a suspension but they didn't bother.

Conflicting stories, of course the CNA stated I told her to do it she too was terminated. They said because I didn't report it when it happened. Angers me because I'm always honest no matter what then this happens and I get punished.

I was terminated after 4 years at a hospital doing what I loved. Applying for others jobs but not sure what to put on application. I was terminated because it was a busy day in the Er I had seven patients in our minor treatment area, I pulled out a nebulizer and was going to give it. I got busy left it in work area and tended to other patients. The patient kept asking our nurse aide how much longer, the nurse aide then started the treatment for them. Well the pt was an employee of the hosp and knew aides were not supposed to give them and they called corporate compliance. Question is that I know this is reportable to Bon, as I'm doing applications to I put that I was terminated? Do I have to say why if there was no discipline from the Bon at this time? I'm sad and upset and now worried about getting a job.
