termination with racism and injustice

Published

Hi Everyone,

I recently left my work because a termination by hospital somehow related to a hospital huge budget cutting plus a pt's complaint with racism and injustice , it has been extremely difficult for me to accept it.... however I have to move on to looking for a new job... what do I say in a job interview if I am asked the reason of leaving previous job? I know that I have to be honest with the question during interview with our nursing profession liability, but nobody will give me a job if I do tell the truth.... what should I do?... anybody have encountered similar situation that can give me any suggestions? appreciate with any opinions , suggestions ....

I think it would be easier to help you if I had a clearer understanding of what happened. Did you get terminated from a job? What incident led up to the termination and what were you told? What was your title and job description?

Your original post is very unclear.

Budget cutting and cutting staff is everywhere. So this is not unusual for hiring people to hear. That is the part in the hiring letter that says that they can terminate or you can quit for any reason or no reason.

The racism/unjust part is unclear. But shouldn't be part of a new interview process. You could choose to pursue that by other means, but you would need to get legal advice on that one.

Has OP left the building? Thought he/she wanted opinions, suggestions, etc. Which we can't provide without a bit of clarification. Unless this is yet another person wanting sympathy for his/her perceived victimhood. At least this is what I'm inclined to think without more evidence that OP is having a genuine problem not of his/her own making.

^Or, it could be that the OP is busy right now. It is not like the OP has been gone for weeks.

OP is logged on as I type this post...

If asked during a job interview, just say that your position was eliminated during a round of budget cuts. Good luck to you.
