4. Mental health.
I was injured the other day at work.

Allegations were thrown out that I did the injuring to myself and to someone else.

I'll be getting an attorney shortly.

5. Oh, sweet jeebus, I'm sorry.

Lawyer up. Good luck.

12. I've applied for benefits.
As long as this comes out w/ the allegations being proven false I'll be fine.

This might be the best thing for me. Mental health was burning me out.

7. I'm really sorry for you.

Sending good vibes to you. Please seek competent legal advice and keep a journal of everything that has happened so far, so you have some documentation.

21. Update:
I spoke to the unemployment office. Because of this allegation, even if it's proven false, I might not be able to obtain employment in this field ever again.

But now I qualify for the state to pay for training for a new field.

22. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise
You might get to train in something better suited to what you like to do.

Hope things work out for the best for you :hug:

23. Thanks
but I'd thought about going into nursing. Now, even if this is cleared up, the allegation will always be on file and some will not hire for that reason.

It has to be a completely different field. Saddest part is that I enjoyed this line of work. Few would chose to do this for a living and now they have one less employee.

31. Aw, that stinks
I hope you can get this cleared up. Mental health is a difficult field to work in (speaking as somebody who has received a lot of mental health services in his life), and they need all the good people they can get.

Best of luck to you.

32. Thank you.
But now, even when cleared up, it really makes me think about not returning to the field.

30. I will.
Right now the plans for nursing school are up in the air because of these allegations. I plan on having them proven false and when that happens I plan on the lawsuit.

You're a nurse. You know that allegations of abuse will tarnish your record forever, even when proven false.

34. Back at ya.
When you read it you'll see how this is a catch-22.

If I hadn't done what I did there would have been criminal charges against me immediately. Doing what I did has brought on an investigation.
