whatever you do - don't badmouth your former employer and don't make excuses. i know it's hard bc it's natural to want to defend yourself, but the best thing to do is to explain that you made a mistake. explain that you learned a valuable lesson from it and you are now more cautious than ever.

In nursing (LPN), I believe, you may make errors and learn from it. I'm not talking causing harm( errors where no harm occurred). I made on- a family member,PCG, ask me to put mouthwash into a suction cannister(small amount) in home setting and I responded to the request. The suction cannister ( to use @ school) was cleaned and I inseted a small amount of same color substance in it (was not mouthwash) that I received from bathroom next to toothbrush. It was discovered and taken care of the best I knew how @ that time. The client was not hurt, needed no medical intervention, was never in distress. However, I lost my job. I'm very unhappy @ the time, no job, no unemployment benefits. How can something like that feel so bad- Termination is so bad - will I be able to go on in nursing? How do nurses handle situation like that. It feels like you can't make errors, and I will not find a job r/t termination status. Surviving nursing. Please respond-I need encouragement.
