This certified nursing assistant got put in an awkward situation when she declined to work a shift, and her boss just couldn't accept it.
Doctors and nurses are chronically overworked, and are terribly under appreciated. The very people who take care of us when we're at our most vulnerable state are often exhausted from their own long shifts. This woman is feeling that right now. As she wrote to r/AmItheA**hole, she worked eight days of 16-hour shifts in a row! Instead of treating her like a superhero for her hard work, her boss got upset at her. As the OP, u/Large_Reality9770, wrote, she got back from that monsterously long shift at 2PM.
By 6PM, her boss was ringing her phone, trying to get her to return to work after just four hours. And that's certainly not enough time to sleep off a 16 hour shift! The OP did tell her boss that. She was honest and said that she was too tired to drive, let alone care for patients in need. This woman's boss sounds absolutely rotten, but from the update the OP wrote days later, she seems to have found a solution.
