Is this considered abandonment?

[Maggadale]

I am a CNA. I went into work earlier today feeling fine. Three hours later as we were changing someones dressing I felt as if I was going to faint. A nurse told me to go get another CNA, a drink and to rest. After drinking water and waiting a few minutes I went to go help someone with a transfer. During that transfer I had to run to the rest room to vomit. After vomiting I went and told two nurses that I needed to go home and something wasn't right. I clocked out and had to vomit again. As I was waiting for my ride the scheduler and activities coordinator came out to talk to me and told me that I was abandoning my residents and that if I left I could lose my certification. In my unit there were three other cnas that could cover my place until a replacement showed up. Could I lose my certification and is this considered abandonment?

I knew myself well enough that I needed to go home so I did and more symptoms showed up after I got home.

No. It's just something they say to scare you. I heard this directly from the people who run the STNA registry for my state. The guy actually laughed, though I don't recommend doing that upon returning to work.

I didn't laugh. I started to cry. I feel a little better knowing they were just trying to scare me. Thank you.
