Legal Question in Employment Law in New Jersey

Fired for getting a promotion

I was working at a nursing home per diem while going to LPN school. Once I got the license, they ''let me go'' because they don't have enough nurses to train me. The entire time I was working during school, they gave me no clue that they were going to fire me, quite the opposite actually. Was this legal for them to do?

Based on the information which you have provided, there is nothing illegal about firing you. However, if the nursing home had promised you a job once you graduated, then you may have a breach of contract claim.
