You have to accept a patient assignment in order to be able to abandon the patient. If you quit after your shift, or before your next shift starts and your report for duty and receive report, you have not abandoned any patient. When I was a CNA and talk wafted around about quitting and heading for the door, everyone reminded everyone else that they had better finish their shift and report off to the charge nurse before doing so. There was one instance, during a time of turmoil, that a group of CNAs walked into hell. They all walked off the job and went to the parking lot to go home, nurses ran after them, telling them they would be reported and lose their certificates, however, they were smart enough to know that they had accepted no assignments. Talk of this went all around town. Those CNAs found jobs in other facilities. Do not let this individual blackmail you with threats that they can not back up.
