Well, it's about time for me to unload my problems on those who will listen (or read) . I was dismissed from a job about 3 weeks ago for something incredibly stupid. Something that eveyone else in that facility does but I got caught for. Nothing that would endanger my patients, of course. It all happened because I had a supervisor that had it out for me. She's pretty vicious, so she goes for blood. We had been into it about the staffing for our unit. She would ALWAYS assign 3 CNA's for 46 residents. She was farely new, and we gave her the benefit of the doubt with everything she did. The old supervisor would make sure that we were properly staffed. She would call people at home and get them to come in. But this one, too damn lazy to do so. Here lately she would show her frustration with us and flaunt her authority, and did things because "what I say goes and I don't care what you think". The last time I worked I decided it was the last straw and called the administrator. He was totally on her side, saying we need to give her a chance. When she found out I called the adminstrator she was furious that I had questioned her authority like that! So, I left on a break. I was gone 10 minutes! She was waiting on me when I got back with a write up slip. I left the facility without her knowledge. I left the keys to my med cart with the nurse that shares the hall with me, that is standard when you leave the facility. People leave all the time! I always make sure somebody knows. But because she was pissed at me she did it "because she could". I have always been a good employee and a damn good nurse to my residents. I have had this job for quite a while. There are nurses on my job that steal meds and God knows what else and are still employed. I did not even get an official warning from the office. I was just fired. No notice or anything. I truly feel like I was set up. All of my coworkers are telling me to fight it but I don't even want to go back to that place. Do you guys think that was worth termination? This woman is evil, and I do mean that. I honestly thought the administration would see through her but I guess not. This has me down because I am currently going back to school to be a RN, and all I can think is how she used those 2 letters to do and say whatever she pleased. Any comments....
