Terminated while on probation. Scared!

[mississippiRN71]

Hi. Have anyone of you ever been terminated from a nursing job while on probation or monitoring? I’ve been on probation about a year and have a year left.  
I was terminated last week and it was not due to a medication or patient issue.  I did report my termination to my case manager with the BON and so far I haven’t heard anything yet.  My reason for termination was: excessive phone use while on duty and taking food from a resident when she offered it to me.  This one resident never eats her supper meal - she eats cereal and I went to her to encourage her to eat more and she only wanted her cereal and told me to eat her sandwich. I took the sandwich to the break room and later ate it.  Someone there saw me take it and told on me.  I wrote a statement stating how the resident gave it to me.  I was still fired.   I know it looks bad to the board but since it wasn’t drug or alcohol related or patent abuse or anything- I’m wondering if the BON will do anything in regards to my probation contract.  I interviewed for another job Friday and feel good about it.  They are OK with my probation terms.   I have another interview tomorrow.    I’m just worried.

Is the wasted narcotic error back in August what got you on probation? Or was that a violation while on probation?

I was already on probation in when the wasted narc error occurred/ I didn’t get a second signature. That was on my employer report in Sept and so far I haven’t heard anything from the BON

I could imagine....  they seem to revoke for anything and everything..... if I did not understand something on the job or was not for sure I would find out....  I’m just browsing through time on here... I stayed scared because I still have not found an employer and that is very scary to me. However I’m assuming this is a top notch career with no mistakes to be made and held to a high standard. I can believe that being it is medical however when I drive down the Road I do not feel like wrecking my car on purpose.  I’m going to take a nap now... I have no idea what’s going to happen in the future for any nurse even if they are in good standing.

I have been. You will be able to move past this!! Especially if you haven’t violated your contract.

Trolling, perhaps a little "under the weather" if you know what I mean.  Or even a SDN jokester.
