An RN or LVN who violates the state laws and issues from the Texas Board of Nursing (BON) should seek proper help from a nurse attorney. Doing so could make or break their cases. As a matter of fact, the license can even be suspended or revoked if not defended properly by a nurse attorney.
This is the incident that happened to an LVN in a medical assessment for all newly arrived refugees in Mission, Texas.
On or about February 1, 2017, while employed as an LVN in a medical assessment for all newly arrived refugees in Mission, Texas, LVN administered an MMRV (measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella) vaccination to Patient A, which was not indicated as the patient had already received the required two doses of MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccinations on prior occasions. In addition, LVN failed to administer the annual influenza vaccination to the aforementioned patient. LVN’s conduct unnecessarily exposed the patient to the risk of harm from the receipt of unnecessary vaccinations and the possibility of contracting influenza due to lack of immunity.
The above action constitutes grounds for disciplinary action in accordance with Section 301.452(b)(13), Texas Occupations Code, and is a violation of 22 TEX. ADMIN. CODE §217.11(1)(A),(1)(B),(1)(C)&(1)(O).
Another incident happened on or about November 20, 2017, when the LVN administered the Hib (Haemophilus influenza type B) and Pneumococcal 13-valent conjugate vaccinations to a 9 year-old patient with a negative medical history, which were not indicated. In addition, LVN failed to administer the Hepatitis B vaccination to the aforementioned patient, as the patient had received an improperly timed third dose of Hepatitis B on a prior occasion. LVN’s conduct unnecessarily exposed the patient to the risk of harm from the receipt of unnecessary vaccinations and the possibility of contracting Hepatitis B due to the lack of immunity.
The above action constitutes grounds for disciplinary action in accordance with Section 301.452(b)(13), Texas Occupations Code, and is a violation of 22 TEX. ADMIN. CODE §217.11(1)(A),(1)(B),(1)(C)&(1)(O).
The Texas Board of Nursing decided to revoke the LVN’s license as a result of his actions. It’s because he failed to hire a good nurse attorney for the case, which is why his defense was not matched with the evidence that the Board possesses.
A good nurse attorney is always the best line of defense for these cases. This is the reason why Nurse Attorney Yong J. An is dedicated to helping those nurses in need to settle their cases. He has represented over 150 various nurses in their cases for the past 16 years. For a private consultation and other inquiries, it’s best to contact him for assistance by dialing (832)-428-5679.
