She should have thought about that before becoming a nurse practitioner. Does she live in an 'at will' state?

Taken from the article:
"She said that for six and a half years, CVS granted her a religious accommodation to forego having to prescribe the drugs at the CVS MinuteClinic where she worked. When a customer needed the prescription, she would refer them to a colleague or another CVS MinuteClinic.
But in August 2021, CVS said it was revoking all religious accommodations."
Just my opinion, because I'm not a lawyer, but I believe CVS made their mistake by making the religious accommodation for 6 1/2 years, then all of a sudden, revoking all religious accommodations. They had a process in place to accommodate both the customers and the employee's religious beliefs, so what changed, that required them to fire the nurse?
