Has anyone experienced ED's wanting you to transport a DNR patient but they dont have the actual DNR on file for you to get a copy of? How do you guys handle those situations?

Had a nurse get pissy with me because I said I have to treat the patient as a full code unless I can get a valid dnr with physician name, signature, date etc, and that a a patient's facesheet with only "DNR" is not enough.

At least that is our protocols here where I work.
