Guest guest Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 What is not being publicly discussed is if the R.N.s and C.R.N.A.s can be implicated in engaging in practices that they knew were detrimental to the patients health and being subject to disciplinary actions by the State Board of Nursing. I think that ALL the medical personnel who followed these orders should be held accountable. Any medical professional who places money/employment over a patients health/life needs to be SERIOUSLY removed from any practice of medicine. These nurses could have QUIT and sought employment elsewhere. This valley has a KNOWN shortage of nurses so jobs are at a PREMIUM! With the increasing number of new residents and the number of hospitals there is NO EXCUSE for their actions.

The hearing is scheduled for Monday March 3, 2008 at 1:30 p.m. My best guess is that they will reschedule it until they can present a proper defense for their actions. _http://www2.lasvegasnow.com/docs/HEPsuspension_order.pdf_ (http://www2.lasvegasnow.com/docs/HEPsuspension_order.pdf) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
