The preceptor came up to me today and told me that a nurse complained about me. What happened was a confused patient wanted to go to the washroom, I said ok I'll take you but she requested that the nurse (nurse t) take her. I told her that I can take her right now but she still said that she wanted nurse t to come give her the medication and to take her to the washroom. I asked if she was sure and she said yes..So I went to nurse t and told her that the patient wanted her to take her to the washroom. She went to the patient and told her that she has no choice and she does not get to pick her nurses. The patient then said ok and I helped her to the washroom..
The nurse then told the preceptor that i shoulkd have taken control and not called her. Which i did but the patient insted that nurse t came to help her..I think nurse t was wrong in telling the patient that they have no choice and they dont get to pick. seems very rude to me..
Who is right in this situation? Did i do the right thing here or does nurse t have a valid point? is telling a patient that they have no choice is acceptable?
