Speaking from my limited knowledge of the law...

A hospital policy is a legal document. If a staff member does not follow
the hospital policy (on anything) and the hospital gets sued - then that
hospital won't support the person who did the anti-policy action.  ie they
are absolved from vicarious liability.

If nothing else works try that line with the nurses.

And I'm really not saying that in jest.  I mean it is really serious not to
follow hospital policy on something.  I would be very scared.

Good luck
Denise
