Disciplinary action reports from BONs:

Do all states publish newsletters listing nurses and aides that are in trouble? AZ does a quarterly magazine, and at the back every quarter there are maybe 200 or more nurses and aides listed, with charges against them, revocations, probations, and on and on. This is a small state, and I'm always amazed that there are ANY nurses left that are not in some kind of trouble. It can be seen at the BON site, AZBN.gov. Also, it used to require a 'history' of med errors to be in trouble, it is now down to one that they consider 'significant'. If you are working LTC, be forewarned that aa missed insulin injcetion (or failure to change a wound dressing, etc.) can cost you all kinds of grief,,,for example, and they are ramping up their disciplinary actions all the time.

The TN BON lists it all on their website. I too am amazed at how many nurses are in trouble. I also noticed that they are pulling licenses left and right for defaulting on student loans. Now they are also pulling them for failure to pay child support.

So is it their goal to take all licenses? Then what would they do for revenue? I'm flabbergasted at the 'witch hunt' mentality.

with the advent of the internet, its just easier to track people, keep records and present info the the public.

there is increased focus by federal and state governments to deny licnese unless taxes, fines and student loans paid back to bring in monies owed.
