The Twenty Five
The title ’25’ refers to the number of nurses that have have been through the disciplinary process, successful completion or not, and have been interviewed by me from Dec. 2013. Each case was researched through deposition investigation and nurse interview. Some cases involved clinical issues, many did not. There is only four of the 25 that openly allowed their names to be attached to their story. The reason for that is retaliation well demonstrated from many case beginnings and carried through of many ancillary departs.; that would be immoral behavior and state law violations by the the Arizona Regulartory Agency; the acts of the Arizona Administrative Law courts, Attorney general’s office, Board of Overseers, Ombudsmen firm and, of course, the AZBN . Being red flagged here is no monumental attachment to pursue justice only to conclusively demonstrate that there is no law within the department of human services and public protection can be only a Bannerific shakedown or scam to serve the nurse up to protect a financial issue. The world of the bed side nurse is made up of the realities of the fallout from issues like Medical Directors such as lisa Wynn whose termination for allowing unvetted physicians creating horrors in Arizona. The rubber meets the road always at the bedside and the need for Nursing Board involvement is a backward journey in modern nursing. The AZBN has little accurate knowledge of modern bedside nursing. The enlarged bureaucratic churning of so called public protection efforts is carried like a Roman Emperor eating grapes. Like these Board meetings are perfect sharades of $ 1000.00 clothes horses carrying fancy brief cases which house peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. How many pts. did Lisa Wynn jeopardize away from a safe hospital visit? How did Nathan Southerland have enough time to impregnate an encapacitated victim. Why was her menses not documented? Why did nobody notice a bulge?The Nursing Boards origin of life goes to nurse education. The loss of public confidence in the health care system comes from state law violations by the regulatory agencies.

Way more than 25 , this corrupt nursing agency , dir is 25 years making money while playing , “protect the public ‘ little game . A large salary which has nothing physical and no brain work , just scheming , and plotting, using usual tricks on each and every one. At age 73 , you would think she would give it up . But enjoyment to a sociopath is screwing people over , using the misplaced power to “get” them for friends, allowing unlimited hours of witch hunting on some cases while others are focused only on the complaint and quickly dismissed. She loves watching them suffer and telling them ‘see what you made me do “. Like an abusive husband. The longer she stays the worse the board gets. If this board wasn’t up to no good , they would be very open , but everything is secretive with them . But like sick minded Joe Arpaio, they love the control , the trickery . The entire agency that she has run into the ground, put az on the map for ‘avoid ‘ at all costs . If the AZNA wasn’t so corrupt and political , along with the board of nursing , they would send her a request to turn in your seal , and go to pasture . Ridenour , (RID OF HER ) has taken a noble profession like nursing, and used her entire employees as a mafia team against one nurse (selectively ) at a time . Delores Hurtado, puts words in peoples mouth, trying make a mountain out of a molehill. Something tells me she gets a really nice bonus. What is this off the street uneducated bimbo doing making nursing decisions , and making senior investigator salary ? Taught the intake when complaints come in , the long term devils worker , willing to do anything for a buck, ‘old faithful” to pick which cases to ‘prosecute ” , based on what hospital sent in the complaint . If the complaint is against a nursing prof , it is not only tossed but the person gets a phone call . The prof usually figures out who did it , and that person fails the class. Obedience starts early, the members on this board learned it at an early age. How often she gets a complaint and immediately goes to RID OF HER office and says , “we got it ” ! Should I give this one to , you know the investigator who can really screw them up , and is good at lying and getting people fired ?
Rid of her, thinks by contacting the head of admin law herself , that no exparte is violated, by her sending messages out , instead of directly , like a diversion tactic she is protected. Joke Arapio had his hench men close to him, and if they turned on him , well they’d find there son on death row . RId of Her , has her old stand by’s to protect the agency. And wants those on the board to invite their friends to join. Surely the old coot doesn’t want anyone invading or knowing what they are really up to . What do she have to hide ?

Yes they have a lot to hide , we wouldn’t be watchdogs if we did tell others what really goes on , and it is NOT any public safety . That’s another lie the cops use too . While protecting each other and not the public. They sure aren’t ready for this , but RID OF HER blames it on social media, nope she did it to herself ! Run a nursing board right to the ground ! And you are right about those who have heard, do not work in AZ as a nurse ! Only the most dirtiest of players would stay at this agency . Look at how the victims see these creeps, while the Ridenours think they are high society . ! They can make up their own reality ! I guess if you measure everything by the almighty buck. Jokey’s neighbor a gynny, hinted at her being a real joke among those who “know” .

Just in case anyone has any doubts that Patrick Bearup son of Arapios henchmen , “”” Judge Warren Granville, who retired on May 31, wrote that the death sentence wasn’t justified and “justice was not done” in Bearup’s case. Some wonder if disbarred former County Attorney Andrew Thomas, who once had what a judicial panel called an “unholy collaboration” with former Sheriff Joe Arpaio, helped Arpaio get revenge on Bearup’s father for running for sheriff in 2000.
“This case has an odor to it,” Arizona Republic columnist Laurie Roberts wrote in 2015.
Tom Bearup, who’s lived in Alaska for the past 14 years, had been Arpaio’s top aide until 1997.got a raw deal :”” If your not from AZ, lots of corruption, and while most will say, ‘that’s everywhere ” Did your sheriff buy a tank without a motor with tax payers money to ride in a parade ? TERM limits or they start to think they can do what ever they want. Does your Board of nursing have 4 armed police officers, and 2 security officers at the meetings ?
IS this why the revolving door at the AZBON, is this why the security guards are “””out there ” and a special lunch ordered and invite them all for some ‘extra brainwashings” ? Trump up some bullsh*t to get someone arrested. They do lie! Put nothing past the evil doers who will do anything to save their dwindling ‘reputation” . Too many know of their projected actions , a trap is set. What do they have to hide?

Some nurses get up after being beaten down , only reason they were defeated in the first place is because the corrupt azbon has more money to spend . Money will buy any verdict .

Well it seems the corrupt Arizona Bd of nursing , honcho, is afraid that someone will take an ad out in the AZ Nursing Journal . All attorney’s cannot advertise in this journal . So nurses are stuck with goggle Bd atty arizona, and something like david klink pops up. To those who are unaware of atty’s , he would not be ‘nurses choice” to those who are in the know , but is bd chosen one . There are a couple of those . To those nurses who’s name went out in the ‘journal ” of shame , (should be BON shame ) , they should get together and file a class action. Your name was drug through the mud, but it won’t happen to the ones now . Like how many are going to go on the Bd web site and look up who has been disciplined , that is how it will be done so that Joke , can sleep at night . Shame to the bd who voted this, so Joke’s ‘reputation ‘ and source of contacting all nurses in Az is cut off .

Interesting , a judges show, that are real cases , the Judge said ,( “you have been bullying this person for a long time and when you do that just like in grade school sometimes the victim will turn on you, and when that happens , YOU DESERVE WHAT EVER YOU GET ! ” That was the reason/ purpose to bully them in first place to get a reaction, so now you GOT WHAT YOU DESERVED. ) (the person who brought the case, with the Bs statement “i m afraid of her” was called on that too. ) “You are afraid of NO ONE ” . smart judge , called them on their game , they also lost in court .
Something to think about for those who take on the role and encourage others to attack someone . Either intimidation, lying, digging for dirt in their file , dirty investigation, name calling, back room derogatory statements , laughing at someone else doing the deranged comments, you do not have clean hands, you are part of the problem and willing to add a spin on things.

I was extremely disappointed in the board , listening to the ‘decisions’ is so hap hazard. Just throw out there a case . One who makes the final decision but is calling on others , to chime in, like kids playing school teacher . she tried it on non board members who threw it back on her , they wanted the board of make a decision. Looks like a loop hole she is using. I would be extremely careful about passing what this loop hole wants them to pass,i don’t think there is a rule or decision that the board has not voted in for her . Extremely stupid people and biased. then dishing out severe punishment on those who do not deserve it. Or you have another randy Quinn who is pretty much “out there ” .Acting like a prophet , like warren jeffs . and likens himself to being a God . even from his prison cell.

I certainly hope no one is this stupid to think the NCSBN is even in the slightest on the nurses side !! After all the BON goes to their meetings , further brain washing. Recently a number of nurses have received in the mail a brochure called “What Every Nurse Needs to Know” published by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing. It gives advice in response to the question: “What should you do if you are the subject of a complaint?” It advises the nurse to contact the Board of Nursing (BON) immediately in such an event and states that the complaint will be handled in a “fair and appropriate matter.” It advises that a BON representative will describe the investigation process and answer any questions that you may have about an investigation if a complaint is filed against you.
This does not appear to be sound advice and we would warn nurses against following it. Such advice may cause great damage to any defenses you may have, even if you are totally innocent.

Great post. they way it is seen by many , is like this. A) If you don’t like what your reading, change your sneeky ways. B) if you are with the nursing agency in any manner, it is so encouraged that you come forward and tell the authorities of what you have seen with copies to newspapers. They will flip on you, so get the jump on them C) Ridenour and the assistant atty’s are all dirty , Robert is too but for the other side , like an inside spy. repeating what they say will make you responsible for your words . D) Don’t believe a word they say, they will lie, and use any avenue they can conjure up . E) Don’t throw away or delete any of the ‘inter office memo’s . Evidence . Save everything .Make notes. Anything being copied, make copies of . F) Offer to wear a wire. Notice the ones who do not go through the metal detector are most likely the ones already wearing wires. < why is Elizabeth Campbell and Sunita Cario not going through the metal detector ? They do not work for any agency in that building , they are employed through the A G office . They should be scanned and frisked , be sure and look behind their ears for bugs . Notice they always have their hair hanging over their ears. Also watch for any cash exchanging hands, tipping security guards, purses not going through the scanner. F) trust no one. G) All of the phones are bugged H) sent up a 'code word" that someone knows, to have the swat team bust in, and send that word via text to a trusted loved one . Then act very neutral , smile, but look straight ahead. Be extra cautious in the parking area , get mirror glasses and don't be followed. Dart in and out of cars to get to your parking spot to throw them off . Sometimes whistle blowers get fired , so option here is to get out now before the other shoe drops.

One of the most classy ladies and PROFESSIONAL at all times, is a victim of this corrupt board. A child was misdiagnosed , by CHILDRENS HOSPITAL , 4 Drs in demanding mgt file police report/ cps on this NP (never happen if she was a Dr) . Gets in the hands of a PA , at the medical board who is going to comply arrest warrant . Handcuffed jailed 40 hrs false arrest , and charges nothing but BS ! all charges had to be dropped. But the AZ Board who started a case could not see to drop it. Nope their usual witch hunt . The board snoopers could find a charting error on every nurse and np in the state. But they have to keep up their charade of how “dangerous ” this person is. And distract them from going after Childrens , who put in a false complaint , by stupid drama Drs. ; by doing this the nurse is too busy saving their license. Raises a few questions. When the malpractice by the DRS at childrens was discovered, certainly raises concerns , in the authors opinion , raises questions , did Joke Ridenours daughter , say I ‘ll get the bon on this my mothers the director , or something similar ? and she will be in big trouble ? Was she involved in the conversation ? Daughter “JO” works in pediatrics . Hard to believe she was not part of the ‘get a another NP in trouble , mentality , if she was raised by “BIG JO” . It appears to be their modus operandi . Ridenours daughter STACEY “JO” GROHALL , a chip off the old block ? If we took a toll, and asked those who know how Joke runs the show, what do you think we would get for answers , 1) yes most definitely 2) dont know 3) no . I do know that I would not trust working with her not for a second seeing how corrupt the agency is run . Protecting hospitals and dump on NP . the real ones who need a jail term are still running the illegal operation.

Not only did the abuse of power of the board members ruin an agencies reputation, but it also exposed how corrupt the mormons are . When you attack someone , who knows they did nothing wrong, no medication errors, no late for work, no problems, educating patients, you wonder WTH is going on. Then when several find that the cult is behind this, and how they pretty much operate , many appearances of buy people off, get into Government positions to get laws passed for themselves, you start discussing with others . They see it very clearly . No one knew anything about mormons until the corrupt board did some odd , strange , and down right dirty deeds. Another victim wonder’s how this ‘church’ who have been exposed , for the nasty mormons who are on the board or work there actions, is making excuses . A BS part of their brain washing , ‘did you treat your fellow man right?” (what they really mean is did you do what ever you had to do to take care of a fellow mormon ? ) read a couple of books about these whack jobs , you will think you are in the 1600’s in the deep jungle of africa somewhere.

I think most people know that AZ and UT are half or mostly Mormon. What upset me was how men would take all these women as 2nd, 3rd, 4th, wives and have them live in separate homes and make them apply for welfare so they could collect the money. I had one of these women who shared how she and her kids were starving and how he would come and take all the money and leave them with barely any necessities. They were not allowed to see anyone outside the church. I didn’t know much about them even though I was raised there until I started working with them and was told that none of the Temple ones could be friends with me because I was not a member. I found this weird and cult like. It was later when I went to college and in my social psych class we learned of their cult status and how their brainwashing techniques surpass our military’s. It was quite shocking to say the least. They stepped us through the whole process they use. I had a friend who was dating and wanted to be engaged to a Mormon and she verified this is how they snagged her son. Of course they used the girl as bait and sent him off on a mission and the girl was assigned someone else to be engaged to. It’s all about taking in talented people who can work and bring in money. Only 200 people to a ward so they can keep an eye on you at all times. My downstairs neighbor was terrified her house wasn’t clean enough for those bullies on bikes with the white shirts who come and inspect member’s homes. They didn’t approve of her leaving her abusive husband with her two little ones. Her house was frick’n spotless and she was terrified….that says it all in my book. I dated a guy who is an ex Mormon and he said they make the women join all these groups so that they are busy every single evening except on the weekend to spend with their husbands. That way the groups keep an eye on each other and they never have time to contemplate leaving. Some of the women like the groups because it gives them a sisterly feel to them and they feel safe. If you want some real horror, read DOC and The Mormon Murders. Both eye opening and educational books about the church and how they controlled the FBI for decades
