Abandonment Question

Published

I work as a PNA in a mental institution in Texas. I have been on the job three months and I have already seen straight through the bullying of the House Supervisor and the mandatory stay over at the end of shifts. The work conditions are ridiculous as they displace staff at dangerous levels of patients to staff. How would it be considered abandonment if I tell them that I am not staying over until coverage arrives or if I decide that I'm tired of the treatment and leave? What is the Texas statue that I could be potentially charged with I'd I leave?

Specializes in Palliative, Onc, Med-Surg, Home Hospice.

Damn, that sucks. Well, if they're abandoning then that's what they're doing!
