Pryor says no nursing home crisis amid reform law
Arkansas Governor David Pryor says it is premature to declare an emergency to help nursing homes comply with a law requiring licensed personnel to administer medications.

Pryor is considering temporary staff transfers to bring that facility into line and vows not to suspend enforcement unless a crisis develops.
