My charge nurse is taking away my (easier) patients almost every shift and giving me some of hers, just because she says she can't deal with them any longer! I believe in the continuity of care, and my patients don't get that now. I understand, if there is a medical reason for the switch, but she just says she doesn't have the nerves to take care of him/her any longer. The other two nurses I work with say that we should not fight with her, because it doesn't help, it will just make the situation worse. I tried to ask for my patients back, but she says that sometimes I just have to deal with it. BTW, I am a new nurse(since May) and she has been a nurse for over 10 years. I know I could talk to the nurse manager, but if he talks to her about it, it will be HE** for me to work with her every day.
