Can I have another nurse deal with her personally instead of me? How can I protect myself from future issues with this resident. I have never done anything wrong that would be investigated by the board of nursing, but this resident has told management that she wants me fired. I am in fear of my licenses based off of her false accusations.

Work with your supervisor and co-workers to ensure that this patient is no longer assigned to your care. If your employer refuses to accommodate you, you don't have a lot of leverage. You are an employee at will.

Discuss the matter with your employer. Let them guide you as to how to handle the situation. Refusing to provide care (do your job) is bad for you and the resident.
