Can a nursing home release a patient who was admitted by doctor's orders because she is demanding to go home?

No, they cannot, with the exception of the information contained in the expanded answer below.

Answer

If a person is incapable of caring for themselves and their property there is indeed a legal process by which they can be placed in a long term care facility even if they do not want to go. Many elders who are no longer capable of living independently do not want to be admitted to a residential care facility but they must be admitted for their own safety if the circumstances are serious enough. That process depends on a doctor's certification that the person is no longer capable of caring for themselves or independent living. A guardian would be appointed. Therefore, the answer to your question is yes, depending on the circumstances.

How long does it take to get newborn's birth certificate?

I'm pretty sure the timeframe varies by state. My state (Louisiana) didn't send my son's to me until he was almost 9 months old. I'm not sure if that's usually how long it takes, or because the vital records department was swamped at the time (even in 2007) due to Hurricane Katrina. I want to say, though, that it seemed like they told me 6 months was the wait time. I got his social security card before his birth certificate!

Can you carry a gun in a hospital?

It depends on where you are. In the U.S. each state sets its own regulation for gun permits, so it depends on where you are. In most states, hospitals are not off limits by law, however, many states allow, by law, businesses to post signs stating no guns are allowed. So, in most states, unless there is a sign posted at a particular location, it is perfectly legal to take a gun into a hospital, if you can otherwise legally carry said gun. That said, however, if you carry a gun into a hospital unconcealed, you will probably be detained by security or asked to leave.

To further confuse things, having a sign posted may or may not carry any legal weight, depending on state law. If there is a sign posted, in some states, all they can ask you to do is leave, but in some states, you can be arrested.
