One of the threats frequently used against nurses is to report them to the state licensing agency for "patient abandonment". This threat is frequently made whenever a nurse tries to resign - even with 2 week's notice (even though state licensing agencies say that resignation is not patient abandonment). This threat is also made whenever a nurse is forced to work overtime.

Do not such threats amount to libel or slander?
