Can a nurse legally refuse to take a new admit when already have heavy patient load
and you know you will not be able to properly take care or even admit patient without
neglecting other patients?
I did this yesterday and had four managers having a fit!! One told me to leave if I did not take patient.
One called my agency and complained about me.
Would they rather I accept a patient and give sub standard care to existing patients in order to admit new one?
California, but there may be federal guidelines.
Concerning LTC ratios.
