Am I entitled to severance.
On Monday I was "asked" by my VP at a local hospital not to finish out the last 4 days of my emplopyment as Director of The Emergency Department and ICU because it was causing to much turmoil among the staff. I had given my notice on December 21st that I would be leaving on Jan. 11th. This hospital has a sverance plan, am I entitled to the 4 days pay that I lost? I have worked there for 10 years.

Fired with 4 Days Left
Employers don't have an obligation to pay severance, but your query said something very significant. Your said your employer has a "severance plan." If the plan is something formalized, it might be covered by ERISA. Whether you are entitled to severance would depend on what the plan says. Get a copy of the summary plan description for this severance program. But that would be only a starting point in answering your questions.
