Last night. When I got there I was given a verbal warning because my boss had recieved a complaint that a guy friend and I were being too friendly and they were judging this because I am single and they also accused another girl of being too friendly with him. Well for one he is married for another they don't know if I am single or not and I think based upon rumors it is very rude to give me a verbal warning and almost to the point of being discriminatory with me. Informed me that Ron and I could not work together and that we were to turn and go different directions from each other and everything. I honestly thought it was rather childish. But what got me is she even told me if it was too women who were friends they would not have made a complaint. Yes, Ron and I talk but as friends because for one he is a married man but for another because we are coworkers and we work in a nursing home so therefore everyone knows everything you do. and I honestly had to stop myself from going off and walking out the door I am seriously considering looking for another job. I had been anyway because I had looked into a couple of better paying ones but this has almost made my mind up for me.

That's crazy, I'd be highly offended too esp when the accusations are not warranted.  Are they that anal about everything else?  If so, then it may be time to look for something else.

Was the complaint made by a resident or family member/visitor at the nursing home? Maybe someone saw something that they interpreted as inappropriate. Some people will catch just a phrase being said and put a WHOLE lot more into it that there actually was.(one confused resident actually thought that I was getting married to my male nurse and was asking when the wedding was taking place. I have to talk to him every day to get report, I guess she thought I was being pretty "friendly") Were you advised exactly what the complaint was about? Is there ANY way that your friend could have made the complaint? I would definately want to know the exact nature of the complaint even if they cannot tell you who made the complaint. It is your right.

I'm sorry you're going through this. I agree with tauney4, definately don't quit until you have another one. I just graduated and it took me nearly three months to find a job, so don't take that lightly...
But if you really feel uncomfortable there, look around...

But always remember: don't burn bridges. I know it sucks, but if you end up leaving, don't let them know that this is why. You don't want to have to put down all the jobs recently or something and have people call them only to say that you were rude or something. If you end up leaving, be vague and positive about why. Plus, maybe then if the other job turns out to be worse, you could come back!
Good luck!

Well I talked to the other girl the complaint was made about and she said it came from a night we had a potluck.  Well I had went in on my night off for this potluck and because Ron works both and seconds we had asked him to stay over.  Well because Pam had to sit one on one with a patient I went to sit with her and Ron was already there when I sit down and we were all talking and I asked the other girls to join us but they said no and they decided that since we had all talked we must have something going on.  Pam thinks it was the charge nurse but I don't know.  But I had made a point of asking everyone to join us because Pam could not leave her spot due to a patient needing extra supervision.   And I simply figured if she couldn't come to us we could go to her.  Well my 15 year old cousin was with me at the potluck.  Well when I came in one of the other workers was outside so I was fine with going in with just us but when I left I asked Ron to walk us out because it was so late and my little cousin was with me.  Well afterwards, and I didn't know this, he went back in to speak with pam for a bit more.  Well we are all good friends so I didn't think anything of it.  Besides he's married.  Well they decided we might have something going on.  Well at no point and time has anything inappropriate gone on.  Well yesterday Ron called in so I didn't get to ask him about it but Pam told me they told her that was why.  And they even told me if me and Ron were two women who were friends they would not have even said anything about it.
