Re: Can they force me to do it?

I agree with the above posts that you are in a position where your job and your license are on the line. This is unsafe practice and it is a losing battle you would be fighting to continue to work for a unit that floats you where you do not have the training to practice safely and could possibly make a mistake that would be of negative consequence to the patient. Your manager sounds like a bully and this write up she is giving you for abadonement (which this is not, you did not receive report nor were you clocked in) is the formal process by which she is going by to terminate you. She is just trying to manipulate things to make it look like you are a problem employee and she needs something in writing that makes you look bad, negligent, etc prior to a termination. You should add an attachment to the write up and ensure it goes in your file with the write up. After that you should put in your notice for employment and if I were you I would report this to higher ups because it is unsafe practice and needs to be addressed by your facility or even JCAHO.
