Yes it just seems terrible that a board can violate the ADA and stigmatize cancer or tumors or genetic disorders that do not impact performance. If a nurse can prove they are fit to practice legally then why go after a license after a doctor has determined fitness to practice?

Oh it sounds like he didn't agree to the peer program or something. But the thing is this nurse just had a brain tumor/cyst which most people are born with and another had cancer. The board order just said unable to safely practice due to condition outlined in law xyz. It's messed up to stigmatize people with brain tumors and cancer.

I don't think being suspended and going through peer assistance was the issue so much as the board publishing nurse x suspended for medical condition outlined in law xyz. It seems that is a privacy violation into someone else's health.

More specifically putting in the suspension notice that the nurse is suspended due to a mental health issue such as depression or schizophrenia...

Can a nursing board suspend a nurses license for a suspected mental health issue and then publish that the nurse is suspended for being mentally ill?

No it's a nursing home. The patients have mental decline and dementia. I would not take advantage of people. I took an oath.

The administration admitted this was gossip and hearsay. So I guess now that I have that video and information I can fix it.

This happened to another nurse and it's defamation to accuse someone of a crime you can not legally prove. I was suspended. I've never had this happen.

I genuinely feel this is an abuse of power by the board considering I have them this information. Considering I can ask for the tapes and legally prove I did not take medications. It's pretty obvious with bubble packs.

The difference in that is though is that she was a criminal and actually committed a crime. I on the other hand passed the medications. The people I worked with may have possibly blackmailed me.

Yes That's the thing though the count was right. The patients stated they did not get them. But there were cameras and they did.

Thanks I also went and took a drug test so I guess I will have to sue the facility now for defamation.

Drug diversion/defamation suit: A facility claimed the patients did not get their narcotics. There were cameras. I administered the medicine. The CNAs wrote a statement and grievance against me falsely. I reported it to the board. Then the board opened an investigation. Is this legal?
