I'm suspended now but will prob. be fired. Almost everyone at the nursing home either went to school together or are related. One of my accusers went to high school with the DON and the other is best friends with the first accusers daughter. I live in another town and feel persecuted at this place. Also I've been accused of "scaring" others. I'm the night supervisor and the only ones I could possible scare are the ones not doing their jobs right in the first place. My administrator told me that he may let me go because he doesn't know me as well as he knows my accusers. Gee maybe because I'm not inbred! But other than the statements made by those 2 women, there is not proof (maybe because I didn't do it). If I am fired do I have enough to file a wrongful termination suit and if I do, what are the chances the company will settle before it gets to court? I'm an RN so my reputation is everything.

Whatever you do, DON'T SIGN ANYTHING. They can make paperwork sound like you're admitting guilt. Don't sign anything until you can get a lawyer to look at it.

Well, I also am an RN in a small NE Texas town. I don't believe you would want to stay in an environment like that. You might win a wrongful termination suit, but what is to stop them from turning you into the board on some contrived charge. Nursing is SO cut throat. Get out of there and find something else.

In general they may fire you for any or really no reason.
In right to work states, unless you have a contract or union, you can be fired just because the boss does not like the color clothes you wear. You can not be fired for protected reason., such as race, sex, perhaps sexual orintation.
But if you do get fired, from the statements ( and they fire you because of what the others said) then you may have reason to sue them for it. If they just fire you without reason, it may be harder.

Holy crap that sucks. It sounds like u might have a case, I'd definatly get a lawyer. Plus if they settle out that all ways looks guilty your rep shouldn't be tarnished
