That’s not the issue. You can not in any way state or imply anyone that could possibly be identified in any way has even been through your health facility’s doors, unless compelled by a court order, with some mandated reporter exceptions. This would be suspected child abuse, or someone may be a danger to self or others. CMS and OIG/federal register websites go in depth, on technicalities. The article doesn’t say who the nurse was, but yes, she or he didn’t even put a name. The issue is consent, and even that doesn’t matter with employers. That nurse jeopardized the whole practice being shut down and/or sued.
I’m sure you know better than my last course instructors, I’ll be sure to pass that along to them.
Yeah send them this and then post what they say. I’d be interested.
I already know since it was hammered home each class for the entire course.
What is the problem, for the nurse, then?

Wait - this nurse is an anti-vaxxer? Or this is some other thing?
