Hi, this is my first time posting. I worked in home health and decided to pick up and leave to go to NYC to help with the COVID crisis. When I contacted my employer and informed them of this, I was told that if I left, I would be reported to the VABON for patient abandonment. Now I had not been working that day, and have never abandoned a patient while working. What do I do now? Any advice is appreciated. I have been told By fellow nurses that he does not have a case and this was an empty threat. I’m disappointed in my employer’s response to say the least.
