Thanks to everyone for their replies. I am a fairly new grad and was working with some seasoned nusres last night who stated that they would readily abandon their pts and head for the lowest level. I did not feel that this was the 'right' thing to do. They are predicting a huge storm cell to hit here in Nebraska again tonite. We are a new facility and our policy and procedures are still a work in process but it does state that someone has to stay! My conscious tells me to stay and at least I will be at the top of the rubble!

Due to the recent events in Nebraska and the threat of a storm in the next 24 hours we were discussing whether or not we could make our patients as safe as possible and head to the basement. Is there a nursing statute that deals with this? help
