Problem/goal: Hi, I’m posting on behalf of a friend who’s currently dealing with a stressful situation and needs advice.
She applied as a receptionist at an animal bite clinic here in the Philippines. However, during training, she was instructed to perform tasks that should only be done by a licensed nurse (like administering doses to patients), even though:
She is not a nursing graduate
She does not have a license
She was trained by the staff and told to follow their procedures. At one point, she even asked about their practice of reusing/keeping materials like sterile water instead of replacing them, and she was told that’s how they normally do it.
After a few weeks, a patient she handled developed infected bumps in the area where the procedure was done. She was then terminated.
It’s already been a month since she was fired, but the clinic owner is still contacting her and asking her to take responsibility for what happened.
What do you guys think?
