Accusations are one of the issues that a nurse attorney can deal with and can resolve. These professionals can guarantee their clients that any false accusations against them can be denied by the Texas Board of Nursing once you hire them for assistance. Sadly, an LVN in Texas failed to do so.
At the time of the initial incident, an LVN was employed as a licensed vocational nurse at a hospital facility in The Woodlands, Texas.
On or about July 31, 2018, August 8, 2018, and August 17, 2018, while employed as a licensed vocational nurse, and assigned to provide nursing care for the patient, the said LVN failed 10 complete skilled nurse visits for this patient. The conduct of the LVN could have delayed treatment for the patient.
It was on or about July 31, 2018, August 8, 2018, and August 17, 2018, employed as a licensed vocational nurse, and assigned to provide nursing care for Patient IV, the LVN submitted false documentation for skilled nurse visits that were not made. Furthermore, the LVN was reimbursed for the notes she submitted on August 8, 2018, and August 17, 2018. The LVN’s conduct was likely to deceive other caregivers who needed complete information on which to base their case and defrauded the facility of money paid for care that had not been provided.
On or about August 21, 2018, while employed as a licensed vocational nurse, and assigned to provide nursing care for the patient, the LVN failed to submit nursing documentation for a skilled nurse visit and could not verify a visit was made. The failure of the LVN was likely to injure the patient in that subsequent caregivers would rely on her documentation to provide further care and may have prevented the patient from receiving the care needed.
It was on or about August 14, 2018, while employed as a licensed vocational nurse, and assigned to provide nursing care for the patient, the said LVN falsely documented a skilled nurse visit for that date. The action of the LVN was likely to deceive other caregivers who needed complete information on which to base their case.
On or about June 2, 2018, through August 1, 2018, employed as a licensed vocational nurse and assigned to provide nursing care for the patient, the LVN failed 10 complete skilled nurse visits as ordered. The LVN’s failure was likely to injure the patient in that the patient was not receiving the care needed.
On or about August 17, 2018, while employed as a licensed vocational nurse, and assigned to provide nursing care for the patient, the said LVN failed to submit nursing documentation for a skilled nurse visit. Further, the patient reported she was not seen by the LVN. The conduct of the LVN was likely to injure the patient in that subsequent caregivers would rely on her documentation to provide further care. In addition to that, the LVN’s conduct was likely to injure the patient in that she was not receiving the care she needed.
As a response to all the incidents, the LVN was given the chance to defend her side. However, the Texas Board of Nursing still disciplined and suspended the RN due to a lack of an experienced nurse attorney to help her defend her side.
