I have another ethical dilema I would like some input on. I am an agency nurse and I have been going to this particular hospital pretty regularly for about a year. Recently I have also taken some shifts at the nursing home attached to the hospital. (this is a very rural area) Because of my time in the area I have made friends at the hospital, and one of them called me yesterday and told me that there is a person living in the nursing home with Active TB. They had a community wide meeting on the effects of this, and from what she told me it sounds like a lot of uninformed board members are making these decisions and not any medical person at all. I am scheduled to go work in this nursing home next week. I called my agency (who I have had problems with in the past) and told them I would not go to this facility unless they could assure me that I would not be exposed. They told me I could not refuse to go to a facility after I have already been booked, and they thought I would be fine since I'm only working nights. I have wanted to quit this agency for sometime now I am going to, the question is do I cancel those shifts and quit now? Or am I completely obligated to work them? Thanks for the outlet.

I am starting my first travel assignment next month. Any suggestions where to get more information about this tax stuff?
