Nurse claims UPMC fired her for supporting coworker’s discrimination complaint

What happened next, Stevenson alleges, amounted to payback. Her supervisor, charge nurse Macy, had been reprimanded for not addressing Evan’s conduct sooner. From February through April, Stevenson claims Macy began manipulating her patient assignments, consistently handing her the most challenging cases requiring intensive care or involving violent patients. The hospital typically rotated these difficult assignments among staff to prevent burnout, but Stevenson says she bore the brunt alone. Colleagues noticed, asking why she always got stuck with the hardest patients.
