Am I wrong?

Ok, I am a new CNA. I have been working for about a month in a hospital. I was asked by one of the other aides to help her rotate with a one to one patient she had. So, I did. I did my work, relieved her and did one to one for about an hour, and she came to relieve me and I took care what I needed. About 9:30 I come in the to do the one to one. So, everything is fine then 11:00 rolls around (SHIFTS END AT 11:00). No sign of the aide to let me know what I am going to do with HER patient. Then 11:20, the charge nurse advises the patients nurse to put restraints on the patient or a bed alarm and advised me to go home, I dont have to stay. Anyway, the aide for this patient went home...left at 11:00 without letting me know or even asking the charge nurse on what to do.........

I am very, very upset about this!!! I would never do this to another aide. I would of found out from the nurse and charge nurse at 10:30 on what should be done and then I would of relieved the aide who was helping me and I would then handle the situation myself since it was my patient. Please let me know if I am wrong?? I am going to confront the aide about this and see what she has to say about it.:argue:

You're right to be angry. But this, in my opinion, is as much a hospital admin problem as much as personal responsibility. We had shift turnover in hospital. EVERYONE reported on their patients to the next shift. If someone didn't come in to work, someone might have to stay until a temp could be found or an arrangement worked out to handle the workload. We never just 'showed up', or left, without all nurses on the floor knowing. I thought this was pretty much SOP at all institutions.
