    She can try, but just because he died at work doesn't mean the death is work-related. Talk to a malpractice lawyer about whether or not the nurse may have violated her duty of care.

    From what we heard the nurse tried to take his blood pressure but could not get a good reading...she told him to go to the doctor.
    Key word here is heard. What is documented is what matters.
    Isn't she mandated to call 911 when an individual is seeking her help.
    No, someone could be asking for help getting out a splinter. She is however required to act as a resonable prudent person would. It would be interesting to see what her assessment said of him. Based on your post, get that attorney on board to access the records. I would also make a report to the state licensing board.
