Accusations, complaints, and allegations towards an RN or an LVN are reviewed and evaluated by the Board to determine if they need to be disciplined or not. However, if you are an RN and violated the nursing laws, you should seek proper help from a nurse attorney. Doing so could result in a different outcome and prevent your license from suspension or revocation.
At the time of the incident, she was employed as an LVN at a hospital in Brownsville, Texas, and had been in that position for ten (10) months.
On or about May 9, 2020, while employed as an LVN at a hospital in Brownsville, Texas, LVN failed to properly identify the patient and verify the orders prior to the administration of high alert medications and inappropriately administered Novolog Insulin 7 units, and Levemir Insulin 35 units, that were ordered for another patient. LVN’s conduct exposed the patient to a risk of harm from unnecessary administration of insulin without a physician’s order.
In response, LVN states she administered the incorrect insulin to the patient. LVN also states she immediately reported the error to her supervisor and notified the provider.
The above actions constitute grounds for disciplinary action in accordance with Section 301.452(b)(10)&(13), Texas Occupations Code, and is a violation of 22 TEX. ADMIN. CODE §217.11(1)(A),(1)(B),(1)(C),(1)(M)&(1)(P) and 22 TEX. ADMIN. CODE §217.12.(1)(A),(1)(B)&(4).
The Texas Board of Nursing then subjected the LVN and her license into disciplinary action. The accusation would have been defended by an experienced and skilled Texas Nurse Attorney, had the LVN hired one. Hiring a Texas Nurse Attorney for defense is applicable for any kind of accusation laid against an RN or LVN.
