Understanding Remedial Education for Nurses

Remedial education for nurses is a potential sanction that nurses may face when they are found guilty of certain charges by the Board of Nursing in Texas. This means that the nurse in question is required to take classes to learn skills that may hopefully help them avoid the mistakes that they are accused of and which they have been found guilty of committing.

Some of the common areas where the board may require a nurse to get remedial education include nursing ethics/jurisprudence as well as medical administration. Other potential areas include administering medication, and critical thinking among many others. 

The area of remedial education is often a reflection of the complaint that has been made against the nurse in question. For example, the board may require a nurse who has been accused of not maintaining proper medical records to take remedial education in medical documentation.

This sanction will go into your record and may be used later as an additional factor in another complaint. At the same time, the time and cost of taking remedial education might take a heavy toll on your well-being.
