Fired = qualifies for unemployment.
Not sure where you live, but in IL, no you don’t get unemployment if FIRED.
In Texas, where the hospital is located, looks like don’t get it if fired:

FIRED:
If the employer ended your employment but you were not laid off as defined above, then you were fired. If the employer demanded your resignation, you were fired.
You may be eligible for benefits if you were fired for reasons other than misconduct. Examples of misconduct that could make you ineligible include VIOLATION OF COMPANY POLICY, violation of law, neglect or mismanagement of your position, or failure to perform your work adequately if you are capable of doing so.

I might be becoming suspicious of everyone’s motives?
Which I really don’t like being that way.
