Bullying :Living well is the best revenge
Interesting the people on this site, one in particular, that don't recognize the behavior as bullying, they downright deny that it exists.

I disclosed my disability and now they won't answer my calls
Maybe I'm missing something but if the position requires rotating shifts why would they want to hire someone that can't or won't rotate?

Fox News calls CNA a nurse
Would you be as upset if CNN had reported it?

Silly rant, but people keep steeling my tissues
Good idea! Maybe she should write "this was STOLEN from the nurse".

Jokes on me....?
Who's calling it a prank or a joke? Sounds more like an act of sabotage.

Should I quit? Idk what to do!
Why not switch, full time at the second job and contingent at the critical care job, best of both.

Should I quit? Idk what to do!
State retirement, better insurance, great staffing (less stress) vs shorter drive, more money, bad management, short staffing (more stress). May have more money in the future with state retirement, better insurance. Money isn't everything, neither is a shorter drive.

Verbally abusive patient, worried I could have handled the situation better
Almost everyone is focused on the cup of coffee and that is not what the OP is concerned about. This is: quote from NurseMom2016 " THIS is the part I am questioning myself about-I told him "no sir, I have already removed everything and you have signed the paper to leave. The cab is on its way to pick you up." He did leave, and had to have assistance from the tech and officer to transfer from a wheelchair to the cab. I had a hard time leaving some of the things he said to/about me at work that day. (I.e. You fata**, you shouldn't be a nurse, f***ing dumb nurse, I could go on). Remember, this man was as oriented as he could be, and was able to hold a calm conversation with others during this time. Probably some undiagnosed psych issues or something. I have never had anyone speak so poorly about me. So, yes I am glad he left within the first 2 hours of my shift, BUT my conscience keeps hanging on three things: one, that he wasn't able to walk on his own and we just sent him on his way. Two, that the foley was there for retention and it was removed almost immediately before he left. And three, that in the end I kind of told him he had to leave (I think he probably would have anyways). Thank you if you have read this whole thing, I tried to condense as much as I could! Let me know what you think, if something could have been handled differently, etc. "

I would be concerned about liability if he said he wanted to stay and then something happened to him after he left. I would have contacted the doctor and see what she had to say about it. CYA.
