is there anyone out there who can help me with policy on floating to areas im not qualified to work in. im a new grad have been on the med surg unit less tha 6 months my facility floated me to the telemetry unit with no orientation not even a tour to show where meds and supplies were kept. i tried to refuse the assignment and was led to believe this was not an option. i do not feel safe practicing in that enviroment i was also expected to the full pt. load of 5i did refuse this and was sent back to my unit and they sent another new grad up that wouldnt balk at the assignment. is there anything out there to protect us from these assignments that jeapordize pt safety and our license? HELP PLEASE.
