Trouble for taking Doctors candy

Nurses General Nursing

Published

I am a tech in a urology floor, I have had my ups and down and made my intention to transfer floor known to my HR and director. I agreed to work until the end of the current schedule. On 25th December, the Xmas decorations are already being taking down and hanging in the nursing station are socks filled with candy with dr names. Walking the hall way I saw a nurse with unit secretary eating candy and taking it away from the socks and I joined the party. They had pen in them and being in nursing school, I went hunting for the pens. We shared the candy among some nurses and kids that came visiting the patients. I took some candy for any kid I see and I honestly don't eat them at all.

Fast forward to 30th dec, rumors started that they are about to fire some worker for stealing candies and I was shook. I said I took some cos I didn't know it belongs to any and decoration are already being taken down and candy was inside the Xmas socks.

Called the HR this morning and he said " your manger said you can't transfer cos they caught you camera stealing candy, you need to settle that because is a big problem".

I dont even even know how to defend my actions, the nurse with me has gone to face panel about this and tomorrow they wil call me. How can I explain being fired over candy???

It's not disgusting. Candy Media is an unappreciated art form... Surely this is art...

I wonder if they could use mommy milk to make a special edition snickers bar?

That's it. Entrepreneurial Geniuses!!!! No only would we sell a ton of them because what could be better comfort food than mommy milk based products but we could put tons of lactating women to work world-wide. Ha!!! Move over Donald Trump you got nothing on the super-genius startup capitalists / nurses on the internet!!!

It's my idea I get to be CEO. I'll need a jet and a cool ride to start. Oh yeah & lots of snickers

That may be the most petty thing I've heard of. Threatening jobs over stockings of gummy bears? That were left out at by the nurses station by the way. Though apparently lowly nurses are not entitled to such things, those gummy bears were obviously meant for the Docotors !! I would get a different job ASAP. And bring a giant bag of gummy bears as a parting gift your last shift.

THIS!! Please, please do this!!
