An RN or LVN who violates the state laws and issuances 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.
One such incident happened to a San Antonio nurse when she was accused of stealing more than $140,000 of their benefits over five years.
The 58-year-old RN admitted she spent much of it on personal expenses, including meals, movie rentals and lawn services. The VA claims she stole $141,734 directly or by taking excessive fiduciary fees.
Because of this, the RN was summoned by the Texas Board of Nursing to defend her side.
Because of the incident, the RN was disciplined and suspended by the Board of Nursing.
The Texas Board of Nursing (BON) is the government agency that has jurisdiction to hear and decide administrative cases involving RN and LVN license. The Board has the power to suspend and/or revoke the nurse license. It is also the agency that is responsible for overseeing the practice of professional nursing all over the State of Texas.
The Texas Board of Nursing decided to revoke her license as a result of her actions. It’s because she failed to hire a good nurse attorney for the case, which is why her defense was not matched with the evidence that the Board possesses.
