yeah subway would have changed her mind since the lifetime subscriptions he had to boys life and girlscout cookie sellers monthly didn't do the job along with his subscription to the little rascals channel

Little Rascals have a channel, what??

Wasn't your Grandpa Spanky?

so a guy I work with, we're pretty good friends, same age, and we have sons that are a same age - he has a daughter that just graduated as a Nurse, was pretty highly sought after by various groups in the medical community here and ended up taking a job at a hospital.

As I understand the story, she was assigned patients and then there is a nurse that is a backup. So she ends up having a patient that is need of some kind of help that demands her attention, and another patient assigned to her goes into some serious cardiac arrest and flat lines in just a few minutes. The backup person did not respond, the patient dies and the next day the hospital fires his daughter.

Now the hospital wants her to pay back over $10k in training they paid for and some other things, and on top of that she is 4 months pregnant and her husband works at the hospital as well.

Its sounds like a very ugly situation. She has lawyered up and the lawyer has told her that they can't or shouldn't fight the termination, but they have multiple options in getting some type of compensation from the hospital.

Yeah, that's fucked up. A new-grad RN isn't on their own for at least a couple of months after being hired. And a patient coding isn't grounds for termination unless it was an action caused my some kind of egregious malpractice. Being busy with another patient while another codes doesn't meet the criteria.

I think the dad may be leaving out some info because the lawyer should absolutely fight the termination if everything is as the dad presents.

the dad told me she was fired because the hospital feels with some certainty the patient's family is going to sue. I tend to agree that something isn't being said but at lunch today he told me the lawyer felt pretty strongly the daughter was going to come away with something when all was said and done. Perhaps because Ohio is a right to work state. I'm not aware if she was in any kind of a union or other type of contract protection. He also told me that she's received at least 4 awards for various duties while being the nurse at that hospital.

Firing an employee over the whole thing seems like a pretty dumb thing to do if you plan to fight a lawsuit saying it wasn't your fault. You've admitted you think an employee did something wrong.

I agree..then again, its sounds like someone did something wrong. Who seems to be the issue.

You never fire over just a lawsuit.

I'm sure I will hear more about it later. I'd like to know what she ends up with if anything.

I know she really struggled in choosing this job and passed up some good ones because of the experience she'd get. Its a shame its turned out this way.

this has been burning up the internet

That was some Indiana Jones stuff there.
