Accusations are stressful issues for an RN or LVN, except when a Texas nurse attorney assists you against the case. The Texas Board of Nurses is responsible for all hearings against RNs and LVNs undergoing a case that may revoke, suspend or only discipline their license. Take note that a Texas nurse attorney can also defend a nurse’s license against accusations.
On or about November 24, 2019, while employed as a Registered Nurse in a hospital in Dallas, the RN inappropriately spanked a pediatric patient on more than one occasion. Her conduct created an unsafe environment and unnecessarily exposed the patient to abuse and injury.
The RN was summoned before the Board to defend against the case.
In response to the allegations against her, the RN states that she has provided care to the patient exclusively since December 2013. She admits that she has grown too comfortable with this family and has “swat” the patient on his buttocks when he is misbehaving and his parents are not home. The RN explains that she was instructed by his parents to “swat” the patient and that she gives him one (1) “swat” on the buttocks over his diaper. She states that she was wrong to do it, but has since talked to his parents and Epic and it will no longer happen.
But without the proper help from a good Texas nurse attorney, the RN lost the case and she was disciplined and suspended.
The Texas Board of Nursing then subjected the RN and her license into disciplinary action. The accusation would have been defended by an experienced and skilled nurse attorney, had the RN hired one. Hiring a Texas nurse attorney for defense is applicable for any kind of accusation laid against an RN or LVN.
