Refusing a patient assignment

:no:There was 3 nurses working, we take patients in rotation. I left the unit to transfer my patient to her room. Came back and charge nurse was having a tantrum in in unit in front of the patient, who was fresh from OR , crna and other staff. She said it is snowing and I am leaving. She just walked out and I ended up having to take her patient. This is not the first tantrum She has thrown at work. I feel there should be some consequence for this behavior. What are your thoughts?

    Was this reported to her supervisor? That's the place to start. Be factual and don't include opinion.

    The nurse just walking out on a patient like that could be considered abandonment I would think. She definitely needs to be reported to the supervisor. And like rose queen said, be factual and tell the supervisor exactly what was said by the nurse. Definitely include the fact that her performance was in front of a post op patient!

    Yes, her supervisor was informed. No consequences so far.
