It was not a hospital, it is a LTC facility.

According to the DON I had to be terminated because I was still in my 90 days and someone prior to me refused to take a cart and they fired her. I told that I had valid concerns but they couldn't keep me because PEOPLE WOULD TALK, HOW COME SHE CAN DO IT?

For those that are curious, there is a sign-in book that let's you know where you will be and how many patients you will have. I have had the experience of taking the whole unit (48 patients) and the weekend supervisor left without doing anything about it. So I don't feel that I have any type of supervisory anyway. I truly do feel bad for the nurses that I left with those patients but I really did not want to experience another night of taking the whole unit. I left three nurses with what I would have had as one nurse.

I am concerned about abandonment. I was just recently terminated because I left work without permission. I clocked in but never took report. The DON was called regarding the situation but she did not answer her phone so I left because I was uncomfortable with the workload. Is this considered abandonment? -FL RN
