    After knowing tell the nurse manager to be there before confronting the staff nurse. It is the responsibility of the charge nurse and/or staffing office to make sure there is a nurse to cover your patients at the end of your shift. Although they could ask you, you still can say no. Most states have laws or at the very least hospitals have policies which prohibit nurses from working mandatory overtime due to staffing issues.
