Nurses are specifically identified as mandatory reporters in a majority of state child protection statutes. The nurse's statutory duty to report child abuse conflicts with the duty to keep patient information confidential.

Basically, we're just looking for them to collaborate with us in educating these employees," said Karen Quill, vice president of the Vermont Federation of Nurses and Health Professionals.
