Hello there fellow RNs, LPNs, etc:
tonight I showed up for work as schedule. When I got there I looked at assigment board and realized I had 9 patient's to take care off, no Charge Nurse, and a floor secretary that makes huge mistakes constantly. Before I clocked in and took any report and turned in my badge and left since I believe 9 patients is an unsafe patient load. My question is: Can they call me up for abandoment even though I didn't clock in or didn't take report in any patient.
Thanks a lot for your answers....
