Probably anyone who has been a nurse manager for any length of time has run across individuals who say that they don't want to perform this task or that one, using the excuse that they don't want to risk their license. I find that more often than not the tasks they want to beg off from are routine. For instance, one LPN tried to convince me that her license did not allow her to pass medication. An RN claimed to be in fear of jeopardizing her license by performing a dressing change. I am interested in hearing some of the things you have heard by people playing the "risk my license" card to get out of what would generally be considered basic duties.
