In Texas, the government has created a special agency that has the jurisdiction to handle controversies and cases involving the nursing profession. This tribunal is called the Texas Board of Nursing (BON). Every RN or LVN subjected to a disciplinary proceeding or administrative case before the Board is given an opportunity to be heard and defend himself from all accusations. This every nurse with a pending case before the Texas Board of Nursing (BON) is to encourage hiring a nurse attorney.
This is what happened to a certain LVN in Austin, Texas on June 2, 2016, when she practiced as a Vocational Nurse without a valid license. Board records indicate that her license expired on May 31, 2016. Her conduct deceived residents, their families, fellow caregivers, and the public in that they believed the LVN’s nursing practice was in compliance with all Board Rules and Regulations
Because of this, the LVN was summoned by the Texas Board of Nursing. During the trial, the LVN stated she was unaware she had to renew on her birthday in order to begin the 2-year renewal process. She never realized she was working on an expired license but once she did she drove to BON to inquire on how to renew it.
Because of this, the RN has been disciplined and suspended by the Texas Board of Nursing,
