Advice opinions please

Ok everyone I have an issue I would appreciate opinions. First of. My unit got shut down due to flood so unable to perform emergency procedures. So until they got it fixed we were given options to use sick day pto or help out on other floor in hospital not take own pts but help out like as a med surg tech or whatever if we wanted our hours. Them are the only options. As of wednesday I was scheduled to work and was told to report to a sister hospital of the company that owns our hospital. I called in for it. It was short notice for child care reasons. Can they make us go to a diff facility like that? I got written, up for refusal to go to a different hosp! I never agreed to go to a different hospital to work. And im scheduled and she pretty much said if I call in I will be terminated they need help. Well my point is I have not been properly trained or orientated at that facility I dont want to risk my license I dont know anything about that hospital how they run things or do things. I had a scrub tech telling me they just throw u in there she was thrown in a delivery and had no idea where things were. Is that safe? Do I have a right to refuse to go to a different facility without proper orientation to it.? Like we aren't able to get med access im not giving meds unless I pull them out myself.. could this be wrongful termination. I am a softie and just want to quit and move on. But that write up will be on my file. And its bs to me. And I was also told I need to be a professional advocate for myself.! Opinions please and thank u!!

Another thing is one of our nurses was doing a task and the nurse from the other facility was like what are you doing thats not how we do it here. Thats what I mean!!!! Without proper orientation I guess I do refuse to go. And we are being forced no option to do anything else!

It seems inappropriate and unsafe to me. Do you have a union where you work? If so, I would find a rep and have her/him present with you to speak with your manager. If not, I would file some kind of grievance and try to get other staff to do the same if that's true for them too. Power in numbers, as they say.
