What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
Recently my 16 month old son was in the ER (hospital) and an RN dropped (on the floor) part of the IV adapter and attached it to my son's IV catheter. I let the staff know that I was an RN and that they needed to follow sterile procedure. The next RN to try to get in his IV said I could not be in the room as I was the cause of his crying (apparently not the staff holding him down and sticking him with a needle) and that my son needed to connect with the staff as parental figures. I was not allowed to comfort him/assist him. What rights do I have to maintain my role with my 16 mo old son?
