Rationale 1: Directing the nurse back to the unit for good-byes is not a good idea.
Rationale 2: The hospital should not be involved in cleaning out the employee's locker.
Rationale 3: The terminated employee should be attended by the manager or by security at all times.
Rationale 4: It must be very clear that termination has occurred and that the nurse is no longer an employee.
Rationale 5: Once termination has occurred, the manager has no control over the employee's actions.
