Legal Question in Employment Law in Pennsylvania

i am a nurse and was accused of "improper handling of narcotics" , not stealing. I was forced to resign, no drug test. no proof of missing drugs. Now I am being black balled by other institutions where "family members of nurses who work at my old job are continuing to spread lies, work and cannot find a job. Nothing was even brought against my license, no charges filed. The director of nursing said " You have no friends here" and the unit coordinator asked me if I was bipolar. My coworkers told me to slow down because I "did to much for the facility" and and made them look bad.What can I do?

Your facts do not indicate dates of when this all occurred. You can file a complaint with Pennsylvania Human relation Commission and/or the EEO (Equal Employment Organization). You must file at least 180 days for the discriminatrory avt for the PHRC You should also consult with a attorney to see if there was some type of discrimination in your termination or forced quit. If individuals are saying false statement disparaging your character you may also have a claim for slander there is a one year statute of limitation for this type of matter.
