Synopsis
|
Grievant was dismissed from employment as a Licensed Practical Nurse due to a history of performance failures culminating with a failure to follow a direct order of a supervisor. The record also supported a finding that Grievant mixed two drugs in the same syringe after being told by the hospital pharmacist not to do so. The record also supported a finding that Grievant had a long history of performance issues along with attempts to correct the deficiencies. Grievant offered no evidence that would contradict the evidence presented by Respondent, and offered no evidence that her due process rights were violated. Accordingly, this grievance is denied.
