This is CRAZY

I am 1yr into my 3yr sentence. My boss hired me knowing my restrictions. Everything has been cool since October. Some of the experienced nursing staff have been let go by my boss. Now I work along side nurses with less than 20 months experience. My board order states there must be a nurse with atleast 2ys experience in the building. My boss told me last week I can no longer work there because of this. That these restrictions were not clear to him.

This does not sit well with me!!!

    Oh my goodness, that is so awful!!!!! I'm so sorry this is happening to you.

    That sounds rather strange. So there are no Nursing Supervisors, Unit Managers, or nurses in Nursing Administration that have more than 2 years experience?

    Sounds like a railroad job.

    Out of curiosity, have you kept copies of all performance evals in case you need them to apply somewhere else?

    OP, I don't think it's you. I think your work wants to fire/lay off all of the experienced nurses & hire new grads. It's not a smart decision but they are probably doing it to save money. So that is their reason for getting rid of you. I'm sorry!

    Yes there are managers in the clinic. We open at 5am but management does not get there until 8ish. That leaves 3hs that I work with a nurse with 18mos experience and a LVN. LVN's can't "monitor" me.

    They aren't getting rid of me they are trying to transfer me to a clinic about an hour away where they have RN's with more experience. It doesn't take a RN with 2ys exp to recognize a impaired individual.

    I am grateful they are trying to help me keep my job. I am just so disappointed about the disruption to my clinic and the stress of changing people, places and things.

    Because of the staffing mess this has created and the inflexibility of the Board my boss isn't likely to hire another RN with restrictions and I feel responsible for that.

    But you aren't responsible. They are. Don't take responsibility for their decisions.
