Is it unreasonable for me to refuse to stay over after working a 12.5 hour shift at a long term care facility due to inadequate staffing? I just started a new job and was informed by my nurse partner that her and I take turns staying over on the Saturday of our 3 day work weekend due to they have no one to come in and do the pm med pass. I went to the don about this and she said it's true. This would mean not leaving the facility till around 10 pm and having to drive home and get back up at 4 am and be back at work by 6:45 to work another 12.5 hour day. Thanks for any input.
