Does anyone have any clue as to how long it takes the BVNPT to take the accusation off the breeze website? They sure put it up fast, same day it was filed but they are taking their time taking it off. Grrr

Been there, done that, ASN, RN My family said the exact same thing but I am just glad its over and I can move on. This definately has jaded me with nursing and I'm taking some time to decompress and ill go from there. It's sad because I waited until I was 45 to go back to school and I truly love being a nurse. But, this took a toll on me for sure. Hugs to you

I just received an email from my lawyer, the board is dismissing my case due to lack of evidence! ITS OVER! after almost 5 years, many tears and money, I am free! Always stand up for yourself and protect your personal and professional integrity at all costs! Keep being the awesome nurses you are and fight for your rights! Much love o you all! Time for a glass of wine now LOL

thank you Marie2021 and amolucia!

Wanted to post an update before tomorrows hearing. The board offered a settlement about a week ago for 3 years probation, I declined and said we can go to hearing. Last night the Boards attorney contacts my attorney and is now offering a public reprimand plus me to pay their costs of the investigation. I am being told and I feel like they know there is no case, its in black and white that I DID NOT do what they claimed. to accept this offer I would be admitting to what they are accusing me of and I decided I cannot live with that and declined that offer too. So tomorrow we start the hearing (its 2 days) I will post an update as soon as a decision is made, please send good vibes for a good outcome@

Thank you Tricia, I needed to hear that. I keep telling myself to not give in but I have to say this is one of the hardest fights I’ve ever been in. To read what they wrote about me just stabs me right in the heart. Even when you know better, to read it cuts deep. Thank you for your reply and good vibes, it helps to hear from others who can relate. Much love to you and hugs

Just an update on this process, as it has drained me and left me with a bitter taste in my mouth. I hired an expert witness who specializes in documentation. Come to find out, the treatment im being accused of signing and not doing, I never signed. I signed it was on hold and not done. We only found this out after they had to give the discovery to my attorney and my expert witness looked it over. We presented it to the board to show there was no dishonestly or unprofessional conduct, But the BOARD is now taking any kind of settlement off the table and insisting we go to hearing in May. To say I’m frustrated would be putting it mildly. Coming into nursing I was beyond the moon and so hopeful for my future and a career that I could be proud of. Now I’m so disheartened and fighting with myself to hang on, keep fighting and keep doing what I love. I’m drained and just do not understand how they can want to keep going with the truth in black and white. Thank you for reading and please send good juju my way for this hearing. Hugs to all

Hello everyone, Im wondering if anyone has went through this and how did you handle it. I work in a corrections facility in Ca and was out for a positive COVID test in Dec. They are not paying me due to my classification of limited intermittant, although I work full time hours. Can I refuse to work COVID units or must I still float where they tell me to? So disheartning and I feel so unvalued.....

Thank you got your response! I will not be saying anything to anyone except my attorney. I appreciate the advice and please pray for a good outcome ☺️

Thank you chare. This has been a long journey and one I am still in shock about. I appreciate your response and hope for a happy and healthy year for you and yours and all of us

So finally after almost 5 years, the BVNPT has decided to make a formal accusation against my license. I have retained a lawyer and hoping for a quick resolution but we know how that goes. My question Is, do I inform my job (different than the one the accusation is from) that this has happened or wait until the outcome? It’s public record now and anyone searching my license can see the whole court documents. I feel the right thing is to tell them and take my chances but I’m getting advice from others not to say a word. I did reach out to my lawyer and hoping to hear back tomorrow with her thoughts, I’d also like to hear my fellow nurses advice on this. Thank you in advance

This has been going on since my first LVN job and I can’t even believe it’s come to a full out investigation. I need this over but I need to make sure I’m doing the right thing to protect myself as well.

About 4 years ago, a former PT complained about the nursing home where i was working, that his wound vac treatments weren’t being done. There was an investigation with all his nurses, I was one of them, and now the DCA investigator wants to do an interview with me. I’m just curious as if I need to take a lawyer with me or just go on my own? Any advice appreciated!

Hi all my fellow nurses! I am looking to do a bridge program and I need to find an online beginning algebra cours that I can transfer to the college I'm applying to. I have asked the college and the admissions lady is on vacay. Any advice is appreciated! Thank you 😊
