At this week's Board meeting, the Board is presenting its proposed Disciplinary Sanctions for various violations. You must read this while understanding that these sanctions may be imposed on you in the future. Do not dismiss this because "I am a good nurse. I will never get in trouble with the Board." Many of my clients fell into this group; they are very good nurses that either made an error or found themselves subject to a violation because of actions outside of their control. I find some of these propositions troubling because the least intrusive of the sanctions are still heavy handed and do not allow for dismissal. Please review this immediately and be ready to comment when the proposed matrix is published.
