Core Competencies
Core competencies of legislative liaisons and lobbyists for a nurs-
ing board or other state agency include fluency and familiarity with
political strategies, such as the legislative process, the subject of
the proposed legislation, and its stakeholders. Joey Ridenour
Why is stakeholders plural? There should only be one. I beg you to someday tell us the influence of $$investments in public policy that you don’t follow anyway????
Citizenship’s Arrest AZBN
13-3884. Arrest by private person
A private person may make an arrest:
1. When the person to be arrested has in his presence committed a misdemeanor amounting to a breach of the peace, or a felony.
2. When a felony has been in fact committed and he has reasonable ground to believe that the person to be arrested has committed the crime.
Some have cases of direct violation of state statutes which intentionally created a crime against the nurse. The general public and many nurses believe the AZBN follows state’s laws. Many nurses also know very differently; with evidence. I’ll do it, if somebody promises to bail me out, because they’ll kill me with their corruption, and totalitarian BS.

Carol S. gives details of her case and adds to the general public’s view of governmental power gone greedy as this case is another $$ cause for action. Jealousy in this case is the nurse’s soul.
Duringing those 8 years I was on PROBATION I was required to take a 3 month Rn- Refreshor course which did not make any sense to me because I had worked on the same floor at the same hospital for the last 34 years. I took my clinical at the Arizona Heart Institute. The cost of the course was over $ 2,000 plus $400 for the pharmacy class. i received a letter of recommendation fron the director of the program and the my clinical instructor. I received a award for keeping secrets (HIPPA) and staff at the AHI said I had a great bedside manner and great patient care skills. I passed the psychological examination. The psychologist said he wondered why I had to take the eval. I said i wondered the same thing myself since no one has ever mentioned that there was a problem with my mental status.
I was soon to find out that none of this meant anything to anyone, not the employers,and certainly not the nursing board.
A DON hired me for a job in outpatient rehab. I had passed the written and physical examin, even taking the TB test. The next day I received a letter from human resourses saying because of my PROBATION status the job offer was recinded. I was crushed to the core. They didnt even have the cajones to tell me to my face! I applied for a job as a hospice volunteer I was sent a letter of rejection in the mail they didnt give me a reason why, but I knew.
Throughout my 8 years of PROBATION I would go through long periods of not looking for a job but if I did I would not get a response which hurt all most as much as out right rejection. One of the saddest things about PROBATION is the few nurse friends I did have left just seemed to slip away. The one friend that I did have left did not support me in the end I haven’t seen or talked to her in years.
iF you think your nurse friends will support you think again they will turn against you. They will say things like, Oh I dont want to get involved. Oh I didnt see anything. I’m not saying anything cause I dont want to get fired… yes your good old nursing friends turn into back stabbing two face bitches. I begain to hate nurses and if I saw a nurse walk by in their stupid little uniform I just wanted to punch them! I felt the same about nursing students one student nurse told me If the board of nursing put you on probation its because you deserved it. I told him i’m not a criminal but they have more rights than I do. It sounds strange to say this, but I got more support from the temperamental yelling in your face egotisical surgeons and doctors then I ever got from nurses. So you think after 34 years of direct patient care I would have received a medal or a straight jacket or both.
So after 8 years of being on PROBATION with no nursing job in sight around 2017 a nurse I knew moved to my town and offered me a nursing job in a detox center. Her previous boss would not let her hire nurses on PROBATION. Of course Human Resourse advised against hiring me because i was on PROBATION. My friend appealed to her boss, he was going to think about it. I asked a nursing instructor/nurse I used to work with for a letter of recommendation. She said yes. With that letter the CEO of the detox center agreed to hire me. I was so so happy and by this time i was so so poor.
I soon found out that each nurse and Nurse Practioner had read my consent agreement even the Behavorial Health Techs, and secretaries knew about it. IF the nartoctic count came out wrong i would hear check with the nurse on PROBATION, or if someone left a med on the counter it was i think the nurse n PROBATION left it there. Durning orientation i was introduced to the Nurse Practioner she asked me what kind of nurse i was I said I was a Med/Surg nurse she responded “Well I believe only ICU nurses should take care of detox patients.” I told her I took care of patients having alcohol withdrawals on my floor when they should have been in ICU. A few days later the NP told me loud enough so everyone could hear you didn’t write the order the way i told you now insurance won’t pay and I have to eat this one up. l didnt know what to say . The secretarY later told me the insurance did pay for the patients stay. Then I began to realize that any mistake i did make I would be reported to the ASBN! THEN I BEGIN TO GET PARANNIOD. I would check every med I gave or charting i did 4 OR 5 TIMES. If the narcotic count came out wrong i was sure I made the error even though I knew almost all of the nurses working there were recovering drug addicts. One shift the NP told me to get some meds for a patient having withdrawals I told her nurse but she was in a locked area and asked me to give them. So of course when I checked out the meds it took me longer because I had to check it 4 or 5 time and I had to make sure what time she last took the meds which took me longer cause i was so paranoid about making a mistake. THE NP came in the room and said what is taking you so long?” then she flung the blood pressure stand right at me, So after that I just dreaded coming to work I was like paralyzed I didn’t want to say anthing to piss anybody off. I would think to myself so who am I I going to report this to certainly not the nursing board, HR ? Hell no they didnt want me there in the first place. Not my boss when I did try to talk to her about my concerns about NP she blew me off saying the NP was dramatic and would get over it. When I went home at night i would pray to God that I would not wake up in the morning. I didnt want to go back to this job from hell. I knew soon or later i would make some kind of error.
One day I asked to be orientated on days so I could do some discharges about a week or so on days I was in nurses station charting, the NP came in the room and shouted come with me I want to talk to you, I followed her down the hall to her office, “Who ordered these vitimins for the parient” I said “You did” she said “You will be sorry you ever said that I dont order vitamins for patients on subboxon its contraindicated. I know your on PROBATION and i’m reporting you to the nursing board isn’t anybody watching you i’m reporting you to the nursing board she wouldn’t even let me speak and some of the patients came out of their rooms and looked down the hall, I thought oh hell now the patients know i’m on PROBATION they won’t want me to take care of them now. She continued with your practicing out of your scope isn’t anybody monitoring you . Whose monitoring you. I’M calling the nursing board I know your on PROBATION
I finally said ok call them i know enought to know i don’t order medication or supplements i’m not a doctor. why would I order something that I know is out of my scope. I tried to call my boss they say go up the chain of command but the chain of command is either off, on vacation, or out of the building, After about 3 days of not leting me work I was called to the office I was told to quit or get fired my nurse friend that hired me was there offered no support for me. Yes another back stabbing nurse.
So of course now the nursing board files charges against me for practicing out of my scope. The nursing investigator advised me to surrender my nursing license. I said no because I fought for so so long and paid so much money to keep my nursing license.
Next I wil write about the Administration Law Judge, nursing board, investigators Inspector General , all charges against me that lead up to my nursing license getting revoked.
Needless Things AZBN
It was no mystery when Lisa Wynn, former medical bd director, was terminated in Oct of 2013 that a wave of patient harm cases were indirectly brought in view to AZBN. One case a physician actually drove a scope through an esophagus, creating a big hole, and sent the pt. home and told them to drink water. Covering up these horrors is the AZBN’S specialty. Some of the horrors are still in hiding, often under a nurse’s body. The most important mission in the AZBN locker is to protect the largest cash register in the world and help themselves to that cash register.
If there is a working nurse who believes they need the support of the regulatory agency to perform properly then they are greenhorns. The agency is grossly involved in producing false narratives to protect physicians and their $$ grabbing businesses. This is well known and well documented to which multiple levels of academia is presently teaching cases of blatant corruption ending in patient harm and death. And sometimes the nurse who is into quack exposure goes away as well.
Nurses need to fight this corrupted agency with the help of an organization whose well aware of the legal world’s bd definition,”This is a monster” .Really? The criminality cruises down the $$ road to places like the Biltmore section, like Paradise Valley. These people are truly shoveling loads of cash into real estate, and large boats. Big real estate and big boats.. We had a good business raising boats that sank at the dock; that’s b/c we’re experts at knowing what sank them.
Nurses absolutely and conclusively do not need this agency in any way. Good for nurses who work for them.
The Lived Experience of Nurse Abuse AZBN
Part 1 of Az Nurse Carol Schaeffer whose story is demonstrated in.part 1 as her heart and her loss of her gift to society.
This post omits the cause of the initial complaint which is another of many museum like cases where experienced nurses of many years get unjust disciplinary actions over tainted clinical issues that grow and blossom.with power of AZBN. Just so you can feel it.
Nurse On Probation
I will tell my story in two parts part 1
Though out my nursing career I alway thought that only nurses that took drugs and abused patients stood up before the nursing board. I was so wrong. I want to talk about my experience when I was put on probation for 2 years in 2010 by the Arizona State Bourd of Nursing. I remember my lawyer advising me to read the consent agreement sign it or lose my nursing license handing me the consent agreement and leaving. I just stared at it. I just couldn’t read it. I just couldn’t. I signed it. I didn’t want to lose my nursing license. The next thing I knew I meet my lawyer at the nursing board. She proceeded to tell me I was dressed provocatively. She told me not to speak to the board because if I put the blame on someone else the nursing board would look at it as me not taking responsibility for my actions. I looked down at my chest I didn’t see any cleavage. I was wearing a below the knee skirt I thought to myself I’m about to lose my nursing career, my identity, my means of survival, my dignity, and this lady lawyer is bitching about the way im dressed! I don’t even remember what my lawyer said to the nursing board. I just remember looking down I felt so ashamed. I couldn’t look up but I could feel the room full of people and nursing students staring at me and judging me. I just wanted to crawl away. Besides probation comes stipulations. Mine were: I could not work travel, or registry, or home health, I could not work nights. I had to take a 3 month RN refresher course, pharmacy class, and psych evaluation. I had to work as a RN on probation for 2 years before I could get off probation. I was then told to turn in my nursing license to get stamped PROBATION. I looked at it and I thought who in the hell is gonna want to hire me with probation stamped clear across my nursing license? I felt degraded and humiliated. How can I face any employer? They might as well have stamped probation right across my forehead. When my boss found out I was put on probation she fired me saying since I was not a nurse in good standing not only was I fired I would be denied receiving unemployment benefits. I had to go to court to fight for unemployment. I didn’t have a lawyer and I didn’t understand the legal terms but some how I won. No one would hire me not even the nursing home nobody wanted to work in. To be rejected over and over again was more than I could bear. Rejection is even harder to face if you are a nurse who thinks being a nurse defines who you are. So for the next 8 years I just wondered aimlessly. I was in limbo. I became a eccentric recluse. I wouldn’t even check my mail for fear I would get a letter from the ASBN adding another charge to my license. To this day I still have that same fear. Since I could not find a job as a RN the nursing board would not take me off probation even though I had been on probation for 8 years. After 8 years a nurse that I knew moved to my town. She offered me a job. I was so happy!!! I thought this is my lucky break, I was so excited but this lucky break turned out to be a disaster…….To be continued

Nicely said . And very sad to end a 34 yr career like this . Many will read this and empathize , but not one from the jaded board members . Carolyn JO McCormies was a part of this, but grand stands about “nurse incivility” . Not only two faced but forked tongued. Not at all prepared for this position , but look who appointed the stupid broad .

And just like in many cases the snake who was willing to do the dirty work for the board, the low life who is pretending to be , better then the rest of the nurses , who will rat one out , give the messed up board a statement, add a few exaggerations , she is out working as a ‘nurse’ . Although she was giving looks that kill to those who were speaking up for Carol. Threatening type looks. She got fired from YRMC, her husband and son went to prison, Went to S/w eye got fired there , and several agencies . THIS is the type the BON likes to team up with . This is the type they want, and can relate to . But are accusing nurses who go before the board they are not holding up that nurses are the ‘most trusted professions”.
Have a traveler who is manipulative come into your work place , buddy up with the sick minded mgrs, , let them know they will do what ever to others , watch and write you up for basically nothing, and lose your career over these sociopaths , and then sit before a board who is further abusive, then tell Mark Kelly they just do not know why nurses are getting out !!!-
Carol is a good nurse . A strong person . Working at one hospital 34 years should give her some credit , and wonder how she made it that long . But because Yavapai Regional wanted to weed out the ones at the top of the pay scale. A real snake nurse willing to watch and report was after several of them . Some got out unscathed. Now compare Carol’s exit her name smeared, her reputation , and abuse by the AZ BON to another employee Selina Bliss , worked at Yrmc Prescott 35 years PART TIME. Worked in the Er but they did not want part timers so she went to a floor part time . BUT she was a nursing instructor and member of AZNA , and later President , ran for office but was not voted in by the public. Supported by AZNA financially . Selena knew exactly what happened with Carol at YRMC , but it was after how the BON handled it , no one cares , supports her and follows up , they think it won’t happen to them . To speak for someone in this position most likely would not do any good in front of a closed minded , dictator board . But it would have helped Carol so much . Unless you are fighting for your license before a dirty BON, you have no idea how painful it is, how devastating to not only lose a long term job and be fired , over and over because of the BON complaint . And then have your license on the line. Many nurses asked Selina to step up to the plate and find out what this corrupt AZ BON is up to . Not a word . Nothing changed . In a position to make a difference , make things right, but instead is siding with the political hacks. It’s all about them .
Carol is supported by true friends, she has nothing to be ashamed of , a strong person she is been abused and shamed by a Corrupt board . Who works with hospitals, to do people in . Where is a nursing organization that helps nurses , really helps other nurses?
Everyone has their dirt and Selina and Lassie are no exception . The BON would post it all on line, this is how I have seen them operate . to many good nurses . IF they don’t like this; they surely would not like what the BON prints ! What kind of a nurse would stand by and allow this to happen to any nurse? Oh yea lots of false friends who are using her for their agenda fake friends kudos here and there.
Compare how the long careers ended .
Both worked same hospital , same number of years , sad the ones who have the power to make change but just ignore requests to get involved. It is all self serving .
Besides the false friends others will remember you , but not in a congratulations way.

This board will take false allegations and consider them as absolute truths. They will search high and low in and outside of healthcare and patient care arenas to find anyone willing to speak unfavorable things of the nurse to somehow discredit and devalue the nurse. There is no due process..you are guilty until you prove yourself innocent. Your licensed is emergently suspended in the name of public safety (based off allegations and heresay). You are too unsafe to treat patients, but not too unsafe to represent yourself legally. You are given a consent agreement full of twisted versions of the real truth and told you have 3 days to admit to and sign their version of trumped up wrong doings, without legal counsel, and under extreme duress. The board is extremely corrupt and sick. Get out of nursing before you even deal with them ( the devil)..its not worth your soul or integrity.
Unfortunately, I signed because I was told by this evil, punitive board that it was my ONLY way back to licensure. Shame on them. I won’t give any of those old satanic hags the benefit of knowing any hurt or pain I may or may not have endured. I walked away, held my head high knowing the truth, knowing God sees all, knows all, and will dish out His wrath accordingly.
I have found many more interesting and fulfilling ways to spend my life, so perhaps a blessing in disguise.
To know how miserable each of their lives must be since each is willing to bear false witness, go after nurses with malicious intentions and destroy others’ lives and livelihoods in such dirty and threatening ways. Also, if anyone has to answer to the azbn, then they are automatically ordered to pay for their own psych eval. The board members then work with that author on what to include in their final report so they can somehow seem justified in demanding a ridiculous recipe the nurse must follow (and pay$$$ dearly for) to be rehabilitated enough to go forth and practice with a scarlet letter and with the label “on probation “.
Everyone will face God on judgement day and have to answer for their life actions, and may God have mercy on their souls.-
EXCELLENT ! You have described what has happened to a number of nurses ! A huge number, so to those who think it wont happen to them , good luck ! and to those who think”there must be more to it , stop judging , and THINK for a change !

Women Against Women AZBN
The stats on Latino/Spanish population % in Az is better than 32% and nearly 50% in Maricopa County. This should dictate that some of those should work at Bd? You need an ethnic Geiger counter to find anything but 1-2 resembling that ethnic group. This racist fact is well confirmed by the peril results of many Latino nurses whom fall prey to this Bd as well as the do nothing Doucy Adm whose well known avoidance of monitoring the AZBN is well known to us. Well established milieu of avoidance of this devil’s den actually is easily understood by the, ‘hell has no fury’ mentality of learned scholars and politicians to give these poltical, wild, mean beasts a wide beam.
My close connections with Bd facts and victims defines behaviors of jealousy, racism and multiple state vilolation; such as…The Latino nurse of 30 yrs. whose unjust disciplinary case is one of the curriculum publications can be viewed from the reality of envy. If you’re a Latino nurse who looks very good in inexpensive clothes being judged by a group of all but 1 white Bd member, who look horrible in expensive clothes, your future is very dim. It is about the body, not the clothes. Take a close look at the out of shape and overweight judges who truly are green with envy as they also know you can put monkeys in silk but still are monkeys.

Criminals in Evidence AZBN
The term ‘In Evidence’ refers to cases of crimes against nurses and nurse’s aides which is easily confirmed when you either know where to look in the record or you yourself pull the blade out of your back. The volume of cases the AZBN has illegally processed is presently residing in specific academic curriculums as study guides for nurse advocacy collegiate programs. That point allows the student to grasp part of the horrors facing them, can you adjust your nursing care because a regulatory scam for corporate captured control of nursing? If the AZBN contacts you b/c of a complaint there is no double standard… you are guilty, will be lied to, you suck, will be intimidated, and jail is not rare. The hope of an honest case is relying of an honest Nursing Board. It is a beautiful example of a corrupted government whose decisions are ridiculous and the totalitarian standard is perfect crimes against nurses and aides.
Nurse Suicide & Wrongful Prosecution
The emotional filled concept of an event that all medical personnel want to avoid is the knowledge that a nurse would commit suicide post unjust disciplinary action by a regulatory government al agency. The knowledge of the bloody fingerprints of fraud from a dedicated agency on many cases in Az., as well as other states like Tn., Tx., Fla., will grow by advancing that knowledge with a loud voice. The voice now heard throughout academia is as we here now say it is…more….now…will be satisfied . Remain silent no longer.
