Reassignment as a nurse

Published

Hi, plz someone hell me with this

if you asked to be reassigned if you disagree with a client. Reassignment is not possible because of staffing requirements. What best should you do?

- decline to provide care and explain manager it conflicts with ur beliefs

- approach ct in respectful manner and focus on their health needs

- continue to provide care, but ask a colleague if they will assume cts care

- contact clpnbc nursing practice asvisor for guidance

We are paid to provide a service, not to agree or disagree with the beliefs of those in our charge.

Put principles before personalities.

Explain to your instructor that you don't understand what is being asked because the question writer didn't use approved abbreviations.

If there is no room to reassign then you just get on with work and do what you have to do

Mind your own business and do your job. You don't have to agree with a patient's beliefs to provide them care- depending on what that belief is it could actually be discrimination.

How do we know OP lives in BC or is an LPN?

This sounds like a homework question.

You just continue to provide care. That's one of the first things I was never taught is that you leave your judgements at the door and you take care of your patients

As long as I'm not being asked to DO something against my belief system (for example, commit murder or participate in committing murder), then I serve everyone without bias or concern about conflicting belief systems. Jasgun, can you go into more details as to what is the real issue?
