Respondent had been working as a Licensed Vocational Nurse for eight (8) months in a hospital in Fresno, Texas, at the time of the first incident.
On October 30th,2020 it was reported that the LVN pawned his patient’s 1.5 karat diamond gold/yellow wedding ring amounting to a total of nine thousand four hundred ninety-nine dollars and ninety-nine cents ($9,499.99) without the patient’s knowledge at a pawnbroker located in Grand Prairie, Texas.
Additionally, the Police detained the LVN on or around November 5, 2020, on suspicion of THEFT PROP $30k, a felony that carries a State Jail sentence. This behavior not only jeopardized the patient’s financial concerns but could have also contributed to major confusion and mental distress.
To respond to the accusation, the LVN clarified that she never committed such a crime and further explained that her work area was far from the patient’s room and that she rarely had interacted with the said patient. Moreover, she was not the charge nurse in the specific station where the patient was admitted.
For this reason, the Texas Board of Nursing (BON) asked the LVN to take responsibility for her actions, she was penalized and she may face jail time as well. All these complications and inconveniences are brought about by her inability to utilize the services of a nurse attorney who was supposed to help and assist her throughout the entire trial proceedings.
