SoCal2010

Found out from a previous coworker this week she knows of someone in same CA DUI situation a while back. She couldn't get anything jobwise, but knew of a doctor, or a friend knew of a doctor who needed help. Either way, the doctor was more than willing to help and fill out the forms. She is clear and free from all the hoops to jump through.... I'm still looking, and I don't know of any independent doctor who I have worked with who may be interested :-( finding work is difficult, but I'm glad some places put "we do not hire restricted licenses" to make it easier to look for someone who will.

They denied my insurance. I need to reapply

More in NPDB. Administrative Fines and Formal Money Penalties Federal licensing and certification agencies must report to the NPDB all money penalties and administrative fines that are formal or official actions (e.g., formal disciplinary actions) against health care practitioners, providers, or suppliers. However, fines that are considered administrative or technical in nature must be reported to the NPDB only if they meet the NPDB definition of negative actions or findings. First, these types of administrative fines must be publicly available information. In addition, administrative fines reported as negative actions or findings must be either: Connected to the delivery of health care services, or Taken in conjunction with other adverse licensure or certification actions, such as revocation, suspension, censure, reprimand, probation, or surrender. Generally, each reporting entity determines whether its action is connected to the delivery of health care services. An action must be reported to the NPDB based on whether it satisfies NPDB reporting requirements and not based on the name affixed to the action. From: The NPDB - Guidebook What actions are reported to the NPDB? Medical malpractice payments Adverse clinical privileges actions Adverse professional society membership actions State licensure and certification actions Federal licensure and certification actions Negative actions or findings by a peer review organization Negative actions or findings by a private accreditation organization Exclusions from participation in a Federal or state health care program (including Medicare and Medicaid) Other adjudicated actions or decisions Health care-related civil judgments and criminal convictions in Federal or state court When do reports expire in the NPDB? Reports in the NPDB do not expire. Information reported to the NPDB is maintained permanently, unless it is corrected or voided from the NPDB by the reporting entity or by the NPDB as a result of the Dispute Resolution process.

Oooh. NSO insurance ( been insured with them for yrs) is not Happy with me. Thank you for mentioning that! Whoever reads the blog will know. I am having trouble with them too. Renewal was in July and I took my time. :). Sooooo, they said that there was an incident occurrence?????!!!!!!! And they will have to check my rates. What the heck?! I told them I didn't even use them or get sued. It doesn't matter to them. I had probation. So. I am so glad to impart some info here to you and others who may be going through same thing. If possible, fight all you can to not have a ding, and this is what may be consequences. I wished I could have known and maybe be more prepared. So is it is why I sometimes feel like giving up. Oh documentation.... My former boss told me not to document MD pt care conversation after he learned of my accusation and not to document email pt care in chart! Either and not to notify PMDs of care via email I did for f/u !!??? Geez!!!! Needless to say, I didn't listen to him or other MDs during transition of care. Hahaha! You get burned once and it's enough. Other ICU nurses friends now document exact conversations with MDs!!!! Wow. What about that?!!! So, yep, I'm happy to help others after fact. Ha. And they also now don't do what MDs ask if they think it might be unusual. And MDs can't say anything back to nurses there or bully them or write them up which they usually do for insubordination. They were gonna have MDs write EHR rx directly to pharmacy, (for about 5 yrs before I started) well that was the whole conflict with MDs and pharmacy, but after me in 2011, MDs shut up and agreed. 6 mo after, it was implemented. So they can't say RNs don't fax RX to pharmacy and it's RN fault. Rx go direct to pharmacy and it's MDs and pharmacy responsibility at that point. I had also pushed for this while I was there in ICU, bc outpt had this protocol. So. Yep. Things change for a reason. And things happen for a reason. Thanks so much for listening. I will keep hanging on. Keep trying Zahir! Think of all avenues the Board may get at you and cover those bases. Also hope that they can get a suponea for a disposition by those RNs who don't want to talk about your awesome work. I didn't do that, maybe that may have helped...if going to Court, think about those ppl who can give you strong work and personal referrals and defend you in good light and ask them in advance. Good luck to us all. It has to work out:)

BON states they don't have list of places to work off probation. They are not nurse placement center. Can you believe how mad I was when I found out AFTER accepting probation? The other OIG.gov and exclusions list also I found out after probation. At hearing, if you say anything wrong, they can yack on another accusation or 2 or 3. And another yrs probation for those or revoke license or suspend, whatever they feel. Is why I didn't bc I didn't have solid case. No one will testify on my behalf. I'm just trying my best. Taking care of my special needs toddler and seeing this as lemonade from my lemons ive been given.

Correct to the above posts. I couldnt and didn't have money for a hearing which I knew I may lose. Yes. Those classes listed are to be online. NCSBN. Board classes. Stress and pharmacology to be in class and approved prior to taking by the Board.

Exclusions are imposed for a number of reasons: Mandatory exclusions: OIG is required by law to exclude from participation in all Federal health care programs individuals and entities convicted of the following types of criminal offenses: Medicare or Medicaid fraud, as well as any other offenses related to the delivery of items or services under Medicare, Medicaid, SCHIP, or other State health care programs; patient abuse or neglect; felony convictions for other health care-related fraud, theft, or other financial misconduct; and felony convictions relating to unlawful manufacture, distribution, prescription, or dispensing of controlled substances. Permissive exclusions: OIG has discretion to exclude individuals and entities on a number of grounds, including misdemeanor convictions related to health care fraud other than Medicare or a State health program, fraud in a program (other than a health care program) funded by any Federal, State or local government agency; misdemeanor convictions relating to the unlawful manufacture, distribution, prescription, or dispensing of controlled substances; suspension, revocation, or surrender of a license to provide health care for reasons bearing on professional competence, professional performance, or financial integrity; provision of unnecessary or substandard services; submission of false or fraudulent claims to a Federal health care program; engaging in unlawful kickback arrangements; and defaulting on health education loan or scholarship obligations; and controlling a sanctioned entity as an owner, officer, or managing employee. To avoid CMP liability, health care entities need to routinely check the LEIE to ensure that new hires and current employees are not on the excluded list. From oig.gov site

So far I took chain of command. Then there's med error, and a few others. They are online. They have the in class pharm , which I took already, 15 weeks, including narcotics...a in class stress mgmt class I need.... But Board has to okay the in class classes. Oh yes. I was so pissed, but I don't have money to go to court. The board has known to say "mo" to judge's order and overturn that for their own punishment. And add more charges during court hearing. So.... Re PT aide, etc. Yes. They require DCA licenses, which also govern BON licenses... So I must surrender my license, have it reported under NPDB again as non compliant probation bc I couldn't fill it, and this geys taken to the OIG.gov which MAY put a blacklist on my name for future Federal employment, bc any surrender licenses with a specific cause they deem as blacklist would be blacklisted. Definite blacklist would be diversion, trafficking, fraud of HHS or CMS etc. Sorry I had too much time on my hands to look up consequences of this. And then I can't get those other licenses

Amazing!!!!! I was also looking into that, but with a toddler who actually utilizes those services, I can only do part time. The other part of the time is looking for jibs and attending his therapy sessions needing parent involvement.

Oh. I forget to add.... Had to take a semester of pharm uppee division again paying University fees...

Yes. Probation as NP for RN incident 2011. I am looking for any positions that will fulfill probation and get me out ASAP. Here we can petition to end probation early, but we need to have probation fulfilled before asking for this. So I don't mind the work or pay. Yep. Fired x2. As RN and NP. I know ppl say probation is not big deal, but they have never experienced it, is why I said earlier if the board members had to switch shoes with us and know what kind of sentence they are handing down, then maybe they will think differently? Or not. Yep. It doesn't matter the mistake. Same punishment. Oh, it also includes classes ($30 ea x6) and a psych eval ($5k) plus stress class that I must fulfill. I am psych cleared! Yaaay!!! So.... Just so you know ahead what probation means. They do tell me I can't think critically. It is written in the probation order, same as "Gross negligence". So I hope you get an awesome lawyer who can get you cleared! Probation is big deal.
