What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Arizona
I first want to say I have never had a verbal or written warning and have a completely clean record. I have a problem with alcohol and new I need help so I went to my manager and told him I needed to take a medical leave to go to rehab. I went and completed my program and self reported to the nursing board. I did everything right but when I wanted to return to work I was asked to resign. In the meeting I had no HR representation and when I asked if I needed to write a resignation letter my director said no. She pointed to 2 things in my CANDO (nursing board program for addicted nurses) 1. a restriction on taking out narcotics from the omnicell for 6 months and 2. that I had to have a direct supervisor. I work nights so I wasn't sure who would qualify as a direct supervisor but after talking to the board they said a house supervisor (which we have at night) was fine. I was also told there was no way to lock me out from taking out narcotics which I found out was a lie. I feel that if I had cancer or if I had lied about my leave I would still have my job. Do I have a a case?
