Employment Matters For Healthcare Providers

Employment Matters For Healthcare ProvidersAs healthcare providers, we know that for many in healthcare our life is our profession. We really care about our patients and want to do the best job for them. Getting disciplined, or even losing a job is a blow to us both personally and professionally. Even though you might be reeling from the experience, you need to focus on how to make a graceful exit. How you exit this job will impact the future of your career.

It can be painful to write “terminated” on a job application, but whether you are a nurse, physician, pharmacist or dentist, you are required to disclose that job and the termination on all your future job applications, otherwise it is considered a material misrepresentation in obtaining employment. There’s nothing wrong with being fired, it happens to a lot of people for a wide variety of reasons. However, you may not realize that there are often other options open to you in lieu of termination. An attorney can help you navigate through your options during this difficult transition.

If your employer opts to fire you, don’t just assume that you have no power to negotiate the terms of your dismissal. You can ask for a resignation in-lieu-of termination. The biggest benefit is that you protect your professional reputation since you were not terminated. However, there are a variety of things to consider such as whether you can use this job as a reference, your ability to file for unemployment benefits and if you want to return to this employer later.

So, as painful as losing a job is, don’t forget that you have options. You can make choices that will set you up for a successful career moving forward. Do you want our help negotiating your resignation? Just go to the Tell Us Your Story page and we’ll respond to any questions you may have about working with our legal team regarding employment matters.

Nursing Portfolio: Begin to gather and organize all relevant documents pertaining to your education, employment, certifications, and skills. Ideally, you started your portfolio before your graduation and will continue to add to it throughout your entire nursing career. It’s never too late to create a nursing portfolio; it’s evidence that you have followed all standards and have continued to obtain training over the years. legal assistance for healthcare providers

State Board of Nursing: Become familiar with your state’s Board of Nursing (BON) website. You are responsible for knowing and understanding the BON requirements, so it’s wise to check the website every six months—put it on your calendar. The BON website will tell you: Healthcare providers legal concerns. legal assistance for healthcare providers
Each year 7,000 nurses have some type of discipline placed on their license. My home State of Indiana has the highest number of nurses on probation. Other top contenders for that dubious title are Texas and Ohio. If you would like to see the discipline imposed in your State, check out the National Council of State Board of Nursing website (www.ncsbn.org) which captures all of the statistics on nurse license discipline.

If your license is placed on probation, the Board wants to watch you to ensure that you are safe to practice. There are some requirements such as keeping the Board apprised of your current address and phone number as well as reports from your supervisors. There may be other requirements such as having your employer sign the final order or having you take continuing education courses. There may even be fines. Some Boards restrict the type of environment in which you can practice or the shifts in which you can practice.

Some Board decisions may direct you to participate in counseling or in your State’s peer assistance program which helps those with addiction problems or who use controlled substances.
Remember, if any action is taken against your license, it will be a public record forever, even if the matter should eventually be dismissed.
