I am a new nurse, but not new to the field. Here is my question? Who's responsibility is it? If you give report to a nurse and a situation occurs with a patient who should go? Here is the scenio. Report was given to a nurse on a patient. The PCA came to the conference room and asked me if I still had the patient I told her no and that I had given report to his nurse and we will call her Nurse A and we will call me new nurse. The pca told the nurse A that she should go to his room and nurse A said why and she told nurse A that he had pulled out his peg tube. So nurse A turned to me and said "I didn't get report from you New nurse" Anyway, I told her oh yes you did and she refused to move and go see about the patient. Although, I did go, I felt that because she was given report, she should have gone because she had recieved report on her patient. So, the next morning I approached her and she said the reason, why she didn't go was because she was still in report, however, so was I. She was the nurse coming in and I was the nurse leaving. She also said, I had the patient for 12 hours, so that's why I should go. My feelings are, we should have both gone. She was the primary nurse and I could have been her back up. What is your feelings, please let me know what is your take
