My ER sees a lot of Mental Health patients. We have to do a Medical Clearance Exam, labs, and then call Community Mental Health to come and see the patient, and then place them in a facility. The RN has to fill out the application, thus placing the RN in a position to get subpoenas and go to court. Do ALL RN's have to do this. I have heard of some places where the Social Worker fill a out the App.
