I'm a seasoned CNA and I was terminated this morning from my job at a ltc facility. The administrator told me I was fired for the confrontation I had with a dietary aide last week when they refused to make my resident an alternative for dinner. The gave my resident an egg salad sandwich on white bread which the resident refused because she doesn't like pickle and doesn't like white bread. She asked for a grill cheese sandwich on wheat bread instead which the kitchen did not want to provide. They argued that the sandwich was not made with pickle so they would not make the alternative. I told them the resident does not want the egg salad sandwich and does not like white bread and is alert and specifically asked for a grilled cheese sandwich. I told them that I would go to the administrator if they could not provide an alternative for my resident and that my resident could call the state or ombudsman and complain on the facility for this. They made the sandwich. Today the administrator said that I threatened the kitchen with calling the state on them and she was letting me go. She told me she would not fight me on unemployment and wished me best of luck. I feel enraged and heartbroken! I thought I was doing the right thing and I feel wrongfully fired. The administrator didn't even wait to hear my side of the story before deciding to fire me. She called me and left a voicemail on my phone stating they wouldn't be using me anymore and my check was ready to pick up. Am I just being sorry is does anyone else see this as u just??
