I have been a er rn for 3 years but recently got into a heated disagreement with an experienced (10 yr) rn about reporting an assault. Physical assault, an altercation between two adults, not domestic or sexual. HBO ( the experienced nurse who calls herself "simply the best") went behind my back and called the police to come see a patient in the er with injuries from an assault. I thought it was wrong, pts here for medical treatment not legal advice. She says you have to report all assaults even if there is no weapon like in this case. Who is right?
