Anybody know if there's a 'Safe Harbor' reference in our Nurse Practice Act? I didn't find any but I could have missed something. Just curious ... don't really need to contact the Board but I've read posts from others re: refusing assignments. It got me to thinking ...

Safe harbor, Are you posting about the Good Samaritan Law?

New Jersey Good Samaritan Law

Act2A:62A-1.

Any individual, including a person licensed to practice any method of

treatment of human ailments, disease, pain, deformity, mental or physical

condition, or licensed to render service ancillary thereto, who in good faith

renders emergency care at the scene of an accident or emergency to the

victim or victims thereof, shall not be liable for any civil damages as a result

of any act or omissions by such person in rendering the emergency care.

Is this what you wanted to know?

'Safe Harbor" is a regulation in Texas that deals with a nurse refusing to accept an assignment that he/she feels is unsafe. There's protocol to follow, but I was wondering if New Jerey had something similar.
