Stuck in a nightmare, Nursing student/Employee

[Jvilla]

Hi guys,

I worked for a hospital for 4 years in the ER admitting and I am also a 4th semester nursing student at the same hospital... Just last monday, I was terminated as an employee and they sent my school a letter than I may no longer continue my clinical rotation at their hospital... For this reason, the assistant dean told me that If I can't get them to change their mind, I lose a spot in nursing school and I'm done for this semester... It breaks my heart that I have 7 more weeks left, doing so well in clinicals.. and this happens.. I know I was terminated based on an employee performance, but it has NOTHING to do with patient care. I did not harm anyone nor would I ever jeopardize a human life. It's not within my nature.... Do I have rights as a nursing student and appeal to this...? Does anybody know what I should do...???? Please help me.. I'm stuck in this nightmare...

One has to wonder, what did you do so "bad" to get banned from their site? Maybe they see you as a threat. And I have to wonder since you won't come out and SAY exactly what you did. They have the right to do this, as sucky as it can be. Maybe call a lawyer? Good luck!

Where I go to school, they say straight out that if you are an employee of the hospital system and you're terminated, you're out. It doesn't have anything to do with WHY you were terminated. I hate it for you, but I think you're out of luck and will have to transfer to another program.

Thank you for your response.

I can see why you would say that, but keep in mind that my performance had nothing to do with patient care... Overall, my clinical instructor agrees with me, along with my previous clinical instructors, and as well the dean.. It tells you one thing: I didn't do anything wrong involving patient care and they believe the hospital is being unfair.

So what DID you do. You keep telling us what you didnt so what DID you do.

You are a guest in their house. If they dont want you there, they dont have to have you.

Could you ask to join another clinical site? Sometimes, people drop out or if it is on a busy floor, other clinical sites have slots available. What a nightmare for you, I hope this goes well.
