Anyone ever invoke Safe Harbor?

And were there any repercussions?
I didn't but I threatened too. I was getting too many cases day after day after day and I was tired. We were short staffed and at first I didn't mind helping out. But after several months I'd had enough. I told my employer, politely and professionally, that my limit was 16 hours. If they tried giving me any cases after that I would file safe harbor and refuse the case. I've never had a problem since.

What is safe harbor? Is that an unsafe work conditions complaint or something of the like? We call ours the "pink slip" (it is literally a pink piece of paper you fill out that goes to management/the union.)

help! need information about "safe harbor act"! - nursing for nursessafe harbor - nursing for nursesfrom Tx bon: request for safe harbor peer review

One shift it was 2 RN's and that was it for 11 pts. Normally that would have been hunky dory but....the other one hurt her back lifting one of the pts and they didn't have anyone to replace her. And we were getting admits and discharges and she really couldn't do too much. When I asked for help i was told there wasn't any. I stated, Well i am filing safe harbor because this is unsafe. within 45 minutes the cno was up saying " well unfortunately we don't have any one to help out and i said well unfortanately I am filing safe harbor so we can at least protect our license. In a little bit there were 4 managers on the floor to see what they could do. and i was there a few more years

Quote from mscheleeCan I ask what kind of nursing you do? I am currious as to what kind of nursing does 16 hours and gets asked to do more? Home health?
