unfair assignment

One of my coworker had a bad day, two of her pts are very difficult and demanding. When I came to work, the charge nurse assigned both pts to me and let her pick up an easy pts on my hall. so we are both split. I confronted the charge nurse and asked if there are any reasons why we are both split and why I have both of the difficult pts. Her answer is that she just want to give my coworker a break since she had a bad day. I really don't have problem taking on both pts and give her a break if they kindly let me know beforehand. I like both the charge nurse and my other coworker and feel bad arguing about pt assignment but feel that I deserve fair treatment.

Do you stand up for yourself if you think the assignment is unfair? Who you talk to?

    I don't understand what was unfair about it. You had a lighter day the day before, then you had the more difficult assignment the next day. Why was that unfair?

    I don't see how knowing your assignment ahead of time would have made it better for you, other than maybe allowing you to mentally prepare yourself for your assignment.

    Was the assignment considered "unfair" when your coworker was assigned those same two patients?

    No, it's not unfair. She had a difficult day the day prior, and now you're going to have the difficult day. Be thankful you have a charge nurse that cares enough to do that. In most places, you get assigned the same people again regardless of what your day was like since it's an accepted part of the job that not every day is going to be a cake walk. It usually all balances out in the end. You're going to have difficult days sometimes, and easier days other times.
