When it comes to the negative outcome of patient because nurse was asked to rotate to an unfamiliar unit, should the hospital send the nurse to the Peer Review Committee before reporting to the Board? Is there any Board rule regarding it?

cker83 2 Posts Oct 1, 2014 It's homework, and patient died. I reviewed the guidelines but only process to report to BON and to peer view, didn't see anything about if should be peer review before BON. I am in Texas.

Other students have called TX BoN and were successfully guided to BoN regulations if they existed.

Oct 1, 2014 Welcome!Thread moved for best response.Technically the BON is peer review. Peer review is usually within the hospital and the decision on whether or not to report the nurse to the BON is made here...it is hospital policy rather than a BON action.Texas BON peer review.
