Fired nurse to receive unemployment benefits
LTC Liability Monitor, February 5, 2007
A state judge ruled that a nurse who was fired from an Iowa nursing home after asking for additional staff to meet residents' needs is entitled to unemployment benefits, according to the Des Moines (IA) Register. The registered nurse was fired late last year after five incidents in which residents of the home failed to receive their medication. Two days before she was fired, the nurse sent a letter to the administrator of the home warning that short staffing on the weekends when most of the medication errors took place was making it impossible to meet residents' needs, reported the Register.
