Any RN in Texas may be subjected to a disciplinary proceeding before the Texas Board of Nursing. Whenever an LVN or an RN finds himself in such a situation, she will need to find the best Texas RN license defense attorney in the country. This is important, as it is her only chance to protect her RN/LVN license. Otherwise, the Texas Board of Nursing may find her guilty in the administrative case and order for the revocation of her RN/LVN license.
A perfect example of this happened to a certain RN in 2017. At the time of the initial incident, she was employed as an RN at a hospital in Denton, Texas, and had been in that position for approximately eight (8) months.
On or about August 28, 2017, while employed as an RN at a hospital in Denton, Texas, RN placed a rectal tube in a patient without a physician’s order, and after it had been noted the patient had blood in her stool. RN’s conduct was likely to injure the patient from further medical complications.
In response to the above incident, RN admits using a modified Malecot tube to collect stool samples for analysis. RN denies her conduct was likely to injure the patient from further medical conditions. As a prudent nurse, RN states she was constantly monitoring for any blood in the stool given this patient’s medical history and condition. RN explains that she noticed some hematochezia just before 0400 and alerted the provider on call for the evening. RN states the plan was to obtain some stool samples to send for testing. In order to obtain these samples, RN states a Malecot tube was used. The Nurse Practitioner came to the bedside, stayed for some time, monitoring the flow of stool excreting from the patient and the order was then placed.
The above actions constitute grounds for disciplinary action in accordance with Section 301.452(b)(10),(12)&(13), Texas Occupations Code, and a violation of 22 TEX. ADMIN. CODE §217.11(1)(A),(1)(B)&(1)(T) and 22 TEX. ADMIN. CODE §217.12(1)(B),(1)(E),(4)&(5).
However, without enough evidence to prove she’s not guilty, the RN lost the case. This is the reason why the Texas Board of Nursing placed her RN license under disciplinary action.
