Insights of an ex-Board of Nursing Nurse - Your Nursing Profession - Maggie Ortiz and Pat Iyer

http://podcast.legalnursebusiness.com Even if nurses are familiar with the term, “Board of Nursing,” they don’t always realize the potential impact it could have on their careers. Anyone can complain about their professional performance, and that complaint may lead them into being investigated. Maggie Ortiz, who worked for the Board of Nursing in Texas, became disturbed by the practices she witnessed. Sometimes she was assigned to cases she wasn’t qualified to investigate. Often the charges were vague and misleading. She also witnessed bias in handling of cases. Ultimately, she left her job and formed an organization, Advocates for Nurses, which helps nurses navigate the difficult journey through this legal system. Her first point is that nurses should never ignore communication from the Board of Nurses. That’s one of the biggest ways to get punitive action against yourself. She also wants to emphasize that nurses need their own insurance policies and that a nurse should never consider taking charge of her own defense. They need their own lawyer. Maggie details the various levels of punishment available to the Board of Nurses. It is not common for licenses to be revoked, but intermediate stages can also have an effect on your career. Do study this information carefully. Hopefully, you’ll never need it, but if you do, you’ll be glad you tuned into this podcast. • What does a nurse investigator do? • Why does a nurse whom the Board of Nursing is investigating need a lawyer? • Why do nurses need their own insurance policies? • How does bias enter into the procedures of Boards of Nursing? • How often are nursing licenses revoked and for what reasons?
