1. HOW LONG WILL MY LICENSE HAVE A BOARD ACTION?

   guest7/31/17 replied to KingJames1227's topic in Recovery

   Sadly it will live forever on NPDB and NURSYS. Employers check these databases. Most Boards of Nursing automatically forward you to Nursys when verifying a license. They don't fwd to NPDB because they allow you to post a rebuttal.

   I agree with the writers description of how immediate bedding leads to emergency room overcrowding and places those with emergent needs at risk. Immediate bedding however, is a cooperate maneuver to improve patient satisfaction by reducing wait times...

   guest7/31/17 replied to Wish4goodstaffing's topic in General Nursing

   That is true. And the BON has a history of not supporting nurses who are retaliated against. SH unfortunately, really is something the BON created to give appearance of addressing issue they hear as mitigating circumstances in disciplinary issues, ...

   Completely agree. It is unfortunate, in order to have violated the law, SH would have had to be called.

   guest7/31/17 replied to Wish4goodstaffing's topic in General Nursing

   Safe Harbor in Texas is law. Its part of the Texas Administrative Code. I posted it earlier. Board however, will not intervene. It does likely rise to the level of a civil suit. But statute of limitations at least in Texas in only 90 days.

    guest7/31/17 replied to Wish4goodstaffing's topic in General Nursing

    In Texas it must be remembered that Safe Harbor (SH), is legislated law. SH as the law reads does protect your job in so far as it is a violation of the law to "retaliate." Any Nurse Administrators who permit or are aware/have reason to know of the r...

    guest7/31/17 replied to Wish4goodstaffing's topic in General Nursing

    Some of the advice here is really misleading. First off Safe Harbor (if in Tx.) Is law. Protections under safe harbor are also law. ) TOC §303.005(c) and (h) (NPR Law) and §301.352 provide the following protections: (A) A nurse may not be suspend...

    Also it is not a threat but the standard of care and expectation of nurse by Board, There are no exclusions in SH law about how it was called such as tone Please do not discourage nurses from calling SH
