It’s best to seek the help of a nurse attorney when facing different complaints and allegations. However, some nurses tend to face these results instead without thinking that nurse attorneys are always reliable for matters such as these.
On or about November 6, 2006, through January 17, 2007, while employed as a Nurse Practitioner in a medical facility in Borger, the RN lacked fitness to practice as a Nurse Practitioner, in that she exhibited impaired behavior, including, but not limited to, lapses in memory, slurred speech, shaking, bumping into walls and seeming “zoned out” and absent-minded.
The RN’s condition could have affected her ability to recognize subtle signs, symptoms or changes in patients’ conditions, and could have affected her ability to make rational, accurate, and appropriate assessments, judgments, and decisions regarding patient care, thereby placing the patients in potential danger.
The Texas Board of Nursing sent a letter to the RN regarding the issue so then she can have the chance to defend herself. However, she was not able to provide a good defense for herself. Therefore, the Board placed her RN license to a disciplinary action instead.
