Nurses LPN/LVN

Hello well if you have read my previous post before you would kind of know my trouble story:(. but if you haven't let me give you a quick re-cap. Oh in advance PLEASE DO NOT COMMENT TO TELL ME THAT WHAT I DID WAS SOOOO Wrong that I should be ashamed of myself PLEASE I ALREADY KNOW THAT. Ok here is my story; I'm an LVN working on LTC psych facility in California. On March 10th pre-sign the MARS for the following day March 11th, Night nurse catch this complain to the DON the same day, I kept passing MEDS until March 26th, On March 26th I go in to talk to the DON why I didn't have no schedule for April she said "well you pre-sign the MARS on the 10th so I'm going to have to suspend you, and you had one day passing MEDS I'm taking that away and let you do treatments" 3 hours later I get a suspension which was going to start on April 1st to the 4th. March 29th go in to see the DON and asked her what are they planning on doing also tell her that I was resigning she stated "well if you leave is going to be abandonment of employment, we have nobody to cover your shift so wait until the 4th we thinking of terminating you, but we let you know then, sorry to keep you hanging" had a meeting on April 4th and was terminated. Please note that I have never been fired. during my 2 year employment with them I had perfect reviews and I never got any other disciplinary actions but this one. so my question is why wasn't I terminated on the 11th if what I did was so so wrong? why was I allow to continue passing meds until the 26th? why they didn't suspend me right away instead of April 1st-4th? was the Termination by cause? ANY ADVICE? I'm so confused :down:

Hello no union, no government facility and according to he DON and her investigation since nobody got hurt by me presingning the MARS and since all the residents received the right MEDS she is not reporting the incident to the state, thanks

Specializes in Complex pedi to LTC/SA & now a manager.

These questions are ones that the membership cannot answer. You need to consult with an employment attorney or your state's department of labor.
