Worst case, do nothing (and feel guilty for the rest of your life), follow GilaRN's procedure, or, since the TNA is siding with the nurses now, contact them and ask them to handle it....... Let's be part of the solution!
You need to report this type of information to the Texas Medical Board. If you want updated information on the case, then you can give them your contact information, but tell them you want to remain anonymous. You could also contact your state's nurse's association and ask for advice in dealing with the situation.
