Hey everyone thanks for the continued replies. I have no intention of returning to that organization because it is very unsafe. I have already accepted a new position in specialty nursing. I am also currently working on my MSN. I just feel so bad for the patients, the poor care that they receive. What is nursing coming to in Illinois?

Thanks to everyone for responding so quickly. This really helps me a ton.

I reported to work in the Intensive care unit and was assigned two really sick patients. 2 hours into the shift, the charge nurse informed me that I may receive a third ICU status patient. 15 minutes later, the director and my manager told me that I would have to float to a different unit because they sent a nurse home. I would be caring for 7 telemetry patients, all on monitors. I refused to float. The Director asked for my ID and I surrendered it. I Gave report on my current patients to two other staff nurses on duty, after informing the charge nurse, and being instructed to do so, documented this information then was escorted out of the building by my manager and director. I had already put in my resignation, but I decided to quit that day. I never went to telemetry and I never took report on any other patient. Is this considered job abandonment, in terms of my license being tagged?
