I do not accept the Administrative Law Court rules related to hearsay and false documentation against April Cobia for factual reasons never brought forward. The adminstrative law court judge has the the final say as the trier to determine the resolution of a case. No nurse has ever prevailed against the court either on the first go around and or appeal. The rules of evidence seen in higher courts have no meaning in this court owned by the AZBN. Steven Kessel, the crooked Adm Law Court Judge, ruled on the Cobia hearsay and false documentations complaints that he had no legal standing to rule on that. But he did. Its ‘AZBN, its all good.’
I‘ve read 100s of adm law court cases and interviewed many disciplined nurses and few who deny the AZBN motions for monitoring ever return to nursing. Diane Milhaskey, the initial Adm Law Court judge was the usual repeat offender by allowing Sunita Kreshna to violate ARS 32-1263.03 by moving on several Cobia’s complaints by their own motions. Kind of basic law limiting people like Krishna & Capone from filing its own income taxes; fabricated in response for complaints she filed against former employers as this behavior of perjury and tampering with evidence is ancient history. Some of the dates of the complaints are older than four years which is in direct violation of the Health Professional Regulatory Act that was enacted in 2013. Its an act of Arizona Congress that is ignored over and over by the AZBN, Adm Law Court and Az Attorney general.
Details of the Nurse Cobia case represent many of the issues bedside nurses have experienced beyond the scope of fairness which when delivered by organizations that have No Laws to follow reveal details that make excellent evidence for Nursing History. The laws are written in English but to the AZBN they simply do not exist. They really don’t.
There is a perfect window into the destruction of nursing coming from the organizaton of nurses who’ve been retaliated against for reporting of quacks and hacks in the the health care system. The social and career annihilation of Nurse Cobia represents, ‘No Good Deed Goes Unpunished’. When I first heard that I had no idea what it meant. I really did hear this early in my Az working career. After working in Arizona for a few years I know precisely what it means. Any reports of errors generally results in tar & feathering of the reporter.
If you are a student and remembering your history, throughout your entire life you’d best rethink filing for nursing in Arizona, If you spit balled somebody in the the six grade the AZBN will find it and they’ll not give you a license if you failed to declare you were a former spit baller. No joke.
Nurse Cobia’s disorderly conduct charge that was dismissed was presented, again, as a Board’s motion which is also a violation by presenting evidence not jurisdictionally reviewed. I can not count the number of police reports, ancient history, that are included in cases that were dismissed or not reviewed in the county they were written in. In most states this is a civil rights violation, they don’t even know in Arizona. Not all public documents are meant for republication.
The long list of violations in the April Cobia case is not outstanding and is another case that can be added to Nursing History which this site’s primary mission is. The fact this site contains names and evidence of corrupted Board members. Like Randy Quinn, J. Ridenour, Kim Delorenzo, Shawna Bonner, Linda Monas, Beth A. Campbell, Sunita Krishna, Katherine Eldridge, Lola Folre, Dolores Hurtado, Doug Parlin and Savahna Keliipuleole. If you don’t see you name here, be patience, we’ll get to you or Karma will get you first, We Hope.
Can one ignore the extraordinary, absolutely eloquent depositions posted by Krishna in the Cobia case? No one can not. I thought Hemmingway would climax at the bold, smooth sarcasm exhibited on a platter of student optimism so commonly seen in automated cases. Under scrutiny there are different students doing the legal briefs as some got the omnipotent flare of a corrupted shoe in government, when other students do not.
The display of the modern day card swipe treatment of nurse issues can create Hall of Fame Social Abortion events such as creating false documentation confirming perjury as in the testimony of K. Williams. Not sure how AZBN investigator can testify to Nurse Cobia’s ethnicity roots and the use of the ‘N’ word when the only person who heard it was a black person dressed in African garb whose twang trained ear heard Mississippi. Repeat after me, “Don’t confuse me with facts, my mind is made up.” Case dismissed but still brought forward. Perjury by documentation unrelated . Just another violation that falls apart as another lead into alledged HIPPA violation is not supported by federal statute and must include fraud for violations to be considered. The fact Nurse Cobia had medical records, off site, of former patients in itself and by itself is not a violation of federal statute whom has standing on these records. The presentation of documents aligning Nurs Cobia’s possession of alledged medical records is easily countered with computer timing accuracy and demonstrates nothing but arrogance and or negligence. There are multiple documents available throughout this case that will remain in Nursing History.

AZBON Victim of lies and corruption 3:49 am on February 26, 2021 Permalink |
True series of events. If this doesn’t show the corruption by the board, the cover up , just one example of the operation of the AZ BON .
At a Board of Nursing meeting, (BON ) Jo Elizabeth Ridenour , the Ex Dir told members of the board and what ever public was present as well as Board staff, that she was not going to allow atty’s to advertise in the “Nurse ” magazine , because then ‘anyone could’. Then she made a nasty unprofessional comment “we have some unusual trolls following the meetings. ” (These are open public meetings ). Only one person has follow meetings consistently , until covid in person for years. And has been harassed in person in doing so. I submitted a complaint on line on Ridenour , she has a nursing license , due to her violation of the NPA, unprofessional conduct , whether on duty or not. Because she was on duty paid by the taxpayers conducting an open meeting.
Then a meeting was held the following Board meeting. where the atty Emma Mamaluy , told Board members to vote on a new policy she wrote. A new policy concerning when complaints come into the agency about staff/ board members/ and agents (herself) . That she (Mamaluy ) would be the one and only one to decide these matters ! (Ridenour is Mamaluy’s ‘boss”, superior at the agency.
I then requested to obtain a copy of the new policy, when i was sent a letter that I was not privy to hear the meeting they had and if i recorded it to destroy all copies and not tell anyone about the meeting ! (the meetings are recorded , but apparently they forgot to turn off the recorder for this sneaky slip in a new policy meeting. I posted it all on line and sent to many others . Mamaluy sent the threat hoping that I would act to her illegal demands and keep her dirty ‘trick ‘ secret.
Then I received a letter stating that the complaint against Ridenour , was not substantiated , in other words Mamaluy played 1) the entire board (where complaints should go 2) made the entire decision after drawing up a new policy , AFTER the fact 3) board members were not told there was a complaint . “we don’t have that many complaints “. Acting like it was business as usual and not a cover up . OF course the BON members would vote yes, because she would do the same for them !
They may as well just spank themselves.
Emma Mamaluy , has given false statements to the police and in fact had to send in an addendum to cover her blantant lies. The security guard , was told by Mamaluy to tell the BON observer that I cannot talk to anyone. The police were called on the many threats by the BON. They know by her retracting statements she gave many untrue statements to the police and should be arrested herself.

A special on Chad and Lori Daybell , mormons from Gilbert AZ, kid killers , in fact 5 people were killed all total. They would not tell anyone where the kids were , too bad they buried them with their phones in the back yard. Then there is Jodie Arias, mormon, who killed travis ALexander , mormon, who was a sex hound . Then Paul Peterson, lied to get pregnant women to AZ and sold their babies. Warren Jeffs, mormon, who had sex with 11 year olds and recorded it. So what makes this clown , get his attorney to announce at a board of nursing meeting ” HE SAID TO TELL YOU THAT HIS IS MORMON AND KNOWS HOW TO TREAT WOMEN, ” Was this some kind of a JOKE. Mormon women are bottom of the barrel in importance. They are to have lots of kids , and never hold any higher office. Get on committees, to keep from thinking about how other people live . He is not the first nurse to pull the mormon card knowing that they are all mormons running the board of nursing , a couple of tokens thrown in .

Ring Worm (Staphylococcus)
Yeah, some are ignorant enough to think the infection on the skin called ring worm is really a parasite however it is a bacterial infection. That would be true for those stupid enough to think the AZBN is for public safety, from my experience they are the parasite, and could care less about public safety.
John P. Kauchick RN BSN, wrote an article regarding nursing boards, and how the nurses the boards are the most punitive to are the nurse whistleblowers.
Never Mo…..you forgot to add to your list that c*%T mitt Romney, & Jeff flake, they claim to be something they are not. They are radicalized extremist who like to control citizens through politics. If they were real Christians they would know that we are responsible for our own actions which is called free agency. Slimiest creatures like Petersen who sold humans (HUMAN TRAFFICING), and his corrupt father David Petersen who was another low life that was in a political position in AZ, was caught red handed too, they are predators of the worst of their kind, they pray on the working class poor, then squeal like swine that they are MORMON Christians (YEAH SURE THEY ARE RELIGIUS, SATAN’S RELIGEION).

of course not the AZ ALJ’s they always side with the dirty prosecutor ELIZABETH A CAMPBELL AKA “BETH CAMPBELL” and SUNITA KRISHNA . Nurses cannot protect themselves ! Do not get a degree in nursing, this can happen to you ! In 2009, after nurse Terri Dye reached into her car and drew a handgun on an unfamiliar man advancing aggressively on her in a Lubbock hospital parking lot, a jury may or may not have concluded she acted in self-defense; the man, a process server in her divorce, never filed a complaint. But that didn’t stop the nursing board from moving in 2011 to suspend her license.
Never mind that Dye hadn’t yet checked in at work, where her nursing skills were not in question: In legal filings, regulators contended the parking lot incident had grave — if theoretical — implications for patients. While none had actually witnessed the incident, a board expert testified that if they had, they might have been frightened by the gun.
Dye’s behavior “did not conform to the minimum standards of nursing practice [because] Dye did not appropriately assess the situation,” the board’s legal filings explained. “If a nurse reacts without appropriately assessing a situation, it could cause an unsafe environment.”
“It was ‘could’ve, could’ve, could’ve,’” recalled Dye, who now lives in Amarillo.
At the judge’s recommendation, the board eventually decided not to punish Dye for the incident. But its final order in the matter stressed its authority: “The Board reiterates that a nurse may be subject to disciplinary action for unprofessional or dishonorable conduct whether such conduct occurs while the nurse is ‘on duty or on call’ or not.”

Too many nurses give up, yes it is depressing to find out that the self proclaimed ‘leaders’ are as crooked as a snake. Some things have changed because of the ones who say , they want to be heard. And many many nurses do not know they have been saved by nurses who took their time to do something. If a nurse today gets a complaint the Corrupt Board of Nursing is no longer able to post on their license UNDER INVESTIGATION. Before being charged , yes they were doing this , and knew it was WRONG ! Nurses who are addicts have a program now that is confidential . The board of nursing was BLASTING NAMES all over the web, smear campaign . SHAMEFUL game players they are. Off label by NP has been stopped arresting and punishing good nurses by Drs who were wrong a PA who was wrong and NOTHING happened to the dirty dogs. There’s more tune in !

The news of the AZBN behaviors is now being headed up by large groups of medical personnel bringing to many, many in the laymen sector of our communities. A new article on Medpage somewhat focuses upon the over management of nurses by political forces far removed from clinical practices. This information MUST BE engaged by direct confrontation so it doesn’t get cancelled like sooo many good nurses.

NP, my mistake 6:31 pm on February 28, 2021 Permalink |
The BON here uses fines as a revenue stream, and they do like their money. I refuse to work as a NP because of their corruption, and ultimately I will likely leave my profession within the next couple of years rather than deal with regulatory over-reach into my private life. My work life is stressful enough, and I hate the level that they feel we need to be scrutinized at. I do not need the extra drama, stress, fear, and cost of insurance to represent me in the event of a “board action”.
These boards are out of control, and the governors who appoint them are FOS if they say they can’t deal with the monsters they created. As long as I don’t show up drunk or high,have not harmed a patient or have a rap sheet as long as my arm it would be nice if they left me the hell alone to do my job.
Physicians and other licensed professionals don’t deal with this legalized terrorism, and neither should nurses. If your state BON is a problem, vote accordingly. Let your state senator/representative and governor know that you will NOT vote for them if this continues. Unionize, apply pressure and they will tell these boards to go back to the hole they crawled out of.

Hey there , From New Zealand , we are nurses and former mormon’s too. Our Prime Minister got out of the horrid cult too . She is way too much a lady , independent thinker to be part of that . Her Name Jacinda Ardern. They send those white shirt missionaries, poor confused lads over here. It’s tough for a strong young feminist to find a place within the LDS Church, which does not extend leadership opportunities to women in the manner Ardern describes here; church government simply does not have “equal showing from women,” a fact that someone like Ardern likely recognized at an early age.
It also doesn’t provide women a substantial amount of choice regarding “the roles they take on.” The Mormon ideal has remained frozen in time since just after World War II: women are called to be mothers and to stay home with their children if at all possible.

Nothing to lose...no shame in my game 5:40 pm on March 5, 2021 Permalink |
The Arizona Board of Nursing is a huge waste of taxpayer money hiding behind the guise of “public safety” and have spent countless hours of time and taxpayer/ AZ constituents’ money destroying nurses with harsh, injust malicious prosecution of ‘some’ and not others. Their unequal distribution of crooked justice is something out of a Stephen King novel. Where else in the whole wide world would one nurse lose her entire 33 year perfect career over false allegations followed by a witch hunt, indiscriminate ordering of psychiatric evaluations to fit the narrative they are trying to draw up, report and discipline….? Let’s not forget their multiple violations of civil and due process rights…one would think no where..but despite what a trusting niave nurse might truly want and hope the case to be…just and fair, free of bias and corrupt government activities…it happens not only in AZ, but surprisingly, across this nation at various nursing boards.
Please review the comments of this MedPage article, and you will see for yourself the comments going out nationwide
https://www.medpagetoday.com/special-reports/exclusives/91322?comment=true
I hope this not only opens your eyes wide up , but also fills you up with utter disgust and shame.
These are your coworkers and peers involved in these shameful acts.
Let me appeal to your moral fibers and being. Please read, review, inwardly digest the information being given to you and then I challenge you to produce a report that accurately reflects what is really going on with this biased, self governed board that lacks any 3rd party, unbiased checks or balances oversight.
All of this has been reported to the governor, the ombudsman and the AZ Nurse Association to only have the reporter labeled as an impaired drug addict spewing the information of a toxic little group”. Yes, i have that in an email from the AZBN director herself.
Any nurse can have a single complaint, true or not, twisted any which way by this board chooses and lose a whole career and still owe student loan monies. But yet, when a complaint is put in on a board member it is handled ” internally” not by an outside, 3rd party, unbiased entity…where else in the world would this ever be allowed in an ethical organization? …in the words of our current president “Come on man”.
Then they want to waste more tax payer money putting forth a commission to examine reasons for the current AZ nursing shortage? Well let me tell you..the word is out, getting spread around about the AZBON. Nurses have no interest in nursing in Arizona after learning of the board’s corruption.
Additionally, I have vowed until my dying day to continue spreading the word about never ever going to Arizona to be a nurse because of this exact corrupt board. I am a nurse with 3 health care degrees including my Masters in Nursing. I have taught at multiple nursing schools in other states, filled the role of house supervisor for a 300 bed hospital, floated to all departments / patient care areas in a 5 hospital system in Florida, taught emr courses, worked in acute cares, intensive cares, radiology and endoscopy suites sedating patients for procedures. I have never injured a patient once, never took illegal drugs, never diverted any drugs from anyone or anywhere, never had a single board action against me, never in legal or professional trouble ever.. and I lost it all over false allegations followed by witch hunt. Once i became acutely aware of the corrupt board i was trying to prove my innocence to… I wisely walked away from it all, leaving my years of experience, expertise, education, and licenses on the table for their keeping.
Yes, it should be innocent until proven guilty, but not with this board…guilty until you prove your innocence…oh, and good luck..that only occurs once in a blue moon [ like if you are a male nurse caught masturbating in a hospital room] then there is no discipline..and that is only a single example.] Or you are willing to abide by their costly , labor intensive recipe back to licensure.
Do you know i have spread this nationwide, to many nursing schools, groups, students, organizations etc…? And not once has the board slapped me with threats of defamation! Why because its all true and it would bring more attention to their corruption. Oh, and maybe because I have nothing else they can take or discipline me for or about and have made the wisest decision of my life to leave healthcare forever.
I can help many more nurses and ultimately patients by getting the word out about never nursing in Arizona.
Imagine if what I have described would’ve happened to one of your family members, friends, or loved one?

It was an eye popping sight as her neighbor’s watched in awe from a distance while D. Mihalsky danced and swayed in the garden of her backyard, it was not the fact she was dancing in her own backyard but the fact she was dancing buck naked. D. Mihalsky had lost weight since she retired, and as she danced to music only she could hear in her head the skin on her ass sagged like the skin from a dead chicken without feathers. Her neighbors had seen her act like this before but knew she was acting stranger lately since she retired. Mihalsky waved her arms over her head in a rhythmic swaying motion in synch with her swaying body one minute, and the next in a drastic change of events her stance would change and she would stoop down like a chimpanzee and fling her arms wildly over her dyed brown wild head of hair, then without warning she changed position once again standing completely erect with her left arm extended in front of her and her palm skyward, using her right hand index finger D. Mihalsky would make a circular motion over her left palm as if she was making Hook’s Tinker Bell dance in her palm.
The Johnson’s looking at each other with concern, concern for the fruit cake Mihalsky, concern for the other neighbors, and for their safety, they knew D. Mihalsky was crazy as a bed bug. Years earlier the Johnson’s had called the police after being woke in the middle of the night from their little dog Sadie barking wildly as lights from D. Mihalsky residence flashed on and off continually. As Mrs. Johnson spoke with the police dispatch and explained the scene, the dispatch informed Mrs. Johnson the police were on their way, but the minute that D. Mihalsky name was mentioned the line went dead, dispatch had hung up, and the cops never came. Dispatch nor the cops wanted anything to do with that crazy bat Mihalsky, the Johnson’s was not aware of this at the time but found out shortly thereafter. Mrs. Johnson called the FBI later that day and received the same response from them too, phone line going dead after Mihalsky was mentioned. Mihalsky was doing dirty work for Ridenour against Nurses, Good Nurses so no one was going to mess with the crazies of Ridenour.
