threatened with license review

[junebride]

I quit a job in a LTC with no notice because it was AWFUL. I got a very threatening call from the Nurse Manager telling me that my CNA license could be put under state review and possibly revoked because I left and simply quit by calling Human Resources with no notice.

I know quitting that way is never okay (I was still training) but this seems a little excessive and I think she was trying to bully and scare me. I've looked all over online at statutes and such and have found nothing to back up her threats.

thoughts??

She might try to accuse you of abandonment. Here's a story about 10 CNAs who quit on the same day and were prosecuted for putting the residents at risk.

Anyways, sorry you had a bad experience there. Hopefully you won't have your license revoked, but honestly you should have given them some kind of notice. Hope everything works out.

The above link stated that the accused were nurses and not cna's, so this would not really apply to the op's position.

No one here at allnurses can give you any legal advice. Your best bet would be to either contact your state's board of nursing with your question, or a local attorney.

Seeking legal advice is against the terms of service for this site. I wish you all the best with your situation.
