The established law is that fleeting evidence, including BAC, can be collected without a search warrant. It's legally irrelevant whether a search warrant might have quickly been obtained, the law doesn't require the cops screw around betting on the search warrant to come quickly.
The nurse's policy argument is irrelevant. The nurse also isn't an expert on the law and relevant court cases. It's not the right of anyone to resist police instructions because they disagree with the police. She should have collected the evidence and then let interested parties sort out the rightness-or-wrongness later.
In the end, the hospital did provide police with the BAC.
