Less unions in this case and more since nursing is governed by Boards that come from the profession it’s very hard to have regulatory capture from outside the profession. There’s places with strong unions and they’re great but that’s far from universal. And no BON is going to accept this shit as standard of care which means you really might lose your license once some “monitored” manic person goes off their meds with nobody paying attention and drives in circles in a city naked without drinking water all while you’re charting that they’re monitored. And no nurse wants to lose the ability to practice for some shit ass employer.

Nurses quit. Go to the reddit nursing sub and see how often they talk about quitting over dangers to their license. They get anxiety about nonsensical stuff regarding that because it’s beaten to us in nursing school. This, nobody’s going to accept.

This is one trying to take my job as a nurse. All I can say is, it ain’t gonna work. You’re never going to get an AI to ensure med compliance in bipolar and schizophrenia or get it to properly do affect and mood assessments for psych nursing. Might be useful for less high acuity cases that don’t require a nurse, but in those sort of outpatient cases the whole point is you don’t need this level of monitoring. I applaud the effort in reducing group home need for this population as well, but I also think that would be ineffective.
