Hello! its a home care agency where I would be taking shifts with one client.

I have a question. I have just finished applying at Maxim healthcare and after orientation they wanted me to do a meet and greet with a family. Well, after the meet and greet I knew it wasn't in my best interest to take the case. I felt uncomfortable, long story short I told one of the coordinators at that agency that I was not interested, and he was VERY upset. Proceeded to tell me that "as a nurse you're going to be put in situations like this". To my knowledge, and hearing from other fellow nurses who work home care, I was under the impression that If I did not want to take a case, I didn't have to. Just wondering if that is true, if I do not want to work a case, do I have the right to refuse?

Hey all, I 've been having a pretty awful week. Some back story, I am a LPN who just recently quit a case with my agency. I work for a pediatric home care agency and been with my case for about a year and a half. Throughout that time I have been verbally abused by the mother and thought maybe I could just stick through it ( complained to the agency plenty of times but tells me to just brush it off) Yesterday I had to quit, the mother tried to have me write false documentation so that she could win a case against another nurse. I disagreed and continued to call me names such as traitor, selfish, stupid, inexperienced..throwing a temper tantrum and throwing things around. My question is, is there anyway I can file a report against her? She has a reputation for being evil and has never had a nurse stay for more than 2 years,. **her son is 8** and it's not fair to all of us who work so hard. I am seeing a doctor because now I have anxiety and when start feeling sick thinking about what she had done.
