Question
What do I do if my employer requires me to work a double shift during a disaster, and I am already physically exhausted?
Answer

A nurse must accept only assignments that consider patient safety and are commensurate with the nurse’s educational preparation, experience, knowledge, physical, and emotional ability.

This is an employer-employment issue that the Washington State Board of Nursing does not have authority over.
