License Revocation

[auwrestler197]

All this talk I hear about people fearing losing their license, does anyone know someone personally that has lost their license because of a mistake they made?

Thanks.

Here is another one I just thought of: A nurse worked the Alzheimers Unit in a LTC. She did not like being "locked" in on the night shift so she turned off the system. Patient got out and it was winter time. Patient died of hypothermia. Nurse lost her license. Not sure what about the facility. A fellow student told me this happened at her unit. I then saw in our Momentum Magazine where a nurse lost her license for it. What are people thinking?!?!?!:trout:

ITS LOCKED FOR A REASON!!! to protect our patients :angryfire Sorry, but I feel bad for patients who dont have the abilty to understand thier actions. Very sad the patient had to die because the NURSE did'nt understand Alzheimers disease and how it affects people!!! It was'nt about her comfort,it was the patients safety. if she didnt want to be locked in, she needs a new job. Ok Rant over. :selfbonk:
