There's probably more to this story.

Also if a doctor ordered a serum ethanol panel on an unconscious patient, the nurse either must do it or find a nurse who will. Ethanol poisoning is potentially lethal. Refusing to draw labs on a sick patient is really bad.

Not the same. They were conscious and not hospitalized. The original story TC posted is about an unconscious intoxicated patient. A doctor doesn't need a warrant to draw labs on such a patient and a nurse that refuses is not doing their job.
