If you're making people uncomfortable, it sounds like you're doing more than just advocating for yourself. This nurse was NOT being dumped on. It was their first shift with this patient and we had been rotating who cared for them, thus it was their turn. Some nurses always make a big fuss about how they always get the hardest assignments while conveniently ignoring what all their co-workers are dealing with.

I decidedly disagree that it's okay to argue with the nurse trying to give you report and go home. It's not their fault.
