If you have been reported and have received a letter from the Texas Board of Nursing regarding an accusation case or complaint filed against you, seeking and hiring a nurse attorney is the solution for that. This should be the first thing to do for an RN or an LVN before facing the case they are in.
At the time of the incident, the LVN was employed as a Licensed Vocational Nurse at a hospital in Denton, Texas, and had been in that position for one (1) year and three (3) months.
It was on or about January 12, 2014, when an incident happened involving an LVN, the LVN lacked the fitness to practice professional nursing in that she exhibited impaired behavior that included crying, mood changes, and threatened suicide. Additionally, the LVN was admitted to the Pavilion for unstable mental health. The LVN’s condition could have affected her ability to recognize subtle signs, symptoms, or changes in patient’s conditions, and could have affected her ability to make rational, accurate, and appropriate assessments, judgments, and decisions regarding patient care, thereby placing the patients in potential danger.
And months later, on or about July 16, 2014, the LVN again, lacked the fitness to practice nursing in that she was admitted to the Pavilion for unstable mental health. The LVN’s condition could have affected her ability to recognize subtle signs, symptoms, or changes in patient’s conditions, and could have affected her ability to make rational, accurate, and appropriate assessments, judgments, and decisions regarding patient care, thereby placing the patients in potential danger.
In regards to the above incident, the LVN’s action constitutes grounds for disciplinary action in accordance with Section 301.452(b)(10),(12)&(13), Texas Occupations Code, and is a violation of 22 TEX. ADMIN. CODE §217.110)(A), (1B) & (ICL) and 22 TEX, ADMIN. CODE §217.12(1)(A),(1(B),(I(E),(4)&(5). This became the reason why the Texas Board of Nursing had imposed to take the LVN and her license into discipline.
