Allegations and complaints while at work is a serious case, which is why a nurse attorney is needed if you get accused of this kind of scenario. However, some who thought they were guilty of the charges failed to hire a nurse attorney just because they thought it’s the doom for their RN or LVN license already. But that is not entirely the case as there is still hope.
Unfortunately, an RN from Beaumont failed to do this, which resulted in disciplinary action from the Texas Board of Nursing. Take note that the Board handles all of the cases that may affect the RN or LVN license from receiving the suspension, disciplinary action, or revocation. However, with a right nurse attorney for the case, rest assured that the case can go according to the nurse’s favor, especially if the nurse has a good defense against the case.
On or about June 10, 2005, the RN shaved the pubic hair of a patient, an underage quadriplegic patient who suffers from medical conditions including but not limited to: cerebral palsy, mental retardation, blindness, and seizures, without a valid physician’s order and without parental consent. Her conduct was likely to injure the patient in that administering treatments without a valid physician’s order and/or parental consent could have resulted in non-efficacious treatment.
This is the reason why the Texas Board of Nursing discipline and suspended her license.
Any negligence done by an RN or LVN may lead to further issues to the patients they are taking care of. Additionally, if you ever undergo cases such as this, it’s best to seek the assistance of a good nurse attorney as it could make the case better in your favor. Be sure to find a nurse attorney who’s experienced and knowledgeable in several nurse cases to ensure the best assistance possible.
