Nurse’s have a right to due process and should be innocent until proven guilty. The AZBN does not have to abide by the laws of due process and can enforce disciplinary action without just cause. We have worked to hard to become nurses to allow an entity to remove our livelihood without proving guilt of wrongdoing.

Nurses that are whistleblowers or have made honest error( errors that all nurses make) or nurses that hat have had false allegations made against them get their license revoked or disciplined. Nurses that harm patients or who are indifferent to patients get to take care of your family and friends.

Today I’m being forced to surrender my license because I can’t complete my contract. I’ve spent over $10,000 and that’s not including $20,000 for rehabs. I was a great nurse.

3 years ago I was denied due process and wrongfully arrested, charged and jailed for what later was dismissed in criminal court. After 5 years and 1 million dollars in losses and costs, and a consent agreement, I kept my credentials, was restored to good standing and immediately retired to prevent me from ever practicing as a Nurse Practitioner again. This experience brought about legislative change sponsored by Senator Nancy Barto. On August 6, 2016, SB 1445 was made law in Arizona and “MEDICAL SPEECH & PRACTICE PROTECTION ACT” was presented at ALEC(American Legislative Exchange Council) as model legislation on 9/12/2016. Thank you.
name not displayed Addiction is far from rare in nursing but can be sooo much handled better.

3 years ago I also felt forced to surrender my license after being given requirements to attend substance abuse therapy, and diagnosised as an addicted person by a mental health “professional” that got facts wrong in the final report due to not listening or taking wrong notes. I have a medical illness. The board investigators LIE in reports and twist statements. Its a battle you can’t win.

The Medical Mafia were told the truth about a very incompetent surgeon whom had a mental illness causing many injuries and death..I presented all the evidence ; the azbn took my license. Isaac M. Thapedi, Joey Ridenour, Diane Milhasky, T.Scott King, Linda Monas, of course Elizabeth A. Campbell and Therese Rowan followed only the money and all are criminals and a cancer to our society.
The list of civil & criminal violations against nurse in Arizona is long, there are many more and are being categorized by dedicated nurses such as Darlene Nelson . Her work is national so be advised the list is huge, and not all entries by alleged nurse victims is professional. However, I am on that list and can clearly define and prove felonies by court officers in Arizona. However the problem is nation-wide.
Darlene Nelson R.N. Nurse Advocate Writes
Nurses are denied the ability to practice and earn an income. When going through the phases of a disciplinary actions, nurses are forced into financial hardship with such agonizing outcomes as loosing their homes and vehicles, loosing medical coverage for themselves and their families or loosing such as the ability to pay for their children’s schooling, dental needs, medications or simply pay the bills. It is a time of great despair, loss, shame, fear and undue hardship. It is a process that destroys lives as nurses who are innocent or who made a non-injurious, first time error are treated not only as if they are guilty but also as if they are criminals. The process is unduly punitive and cloaked in secrecy.
Many a nurse has discovered they are being made to suffer such torment based on employer retaliation most often for speaking up regarding patient safety concerns. Employers are given immunity from being held to their actions and complicity in creating unsafe conditions in which things predictably went wrong or fell through the cracks. Employers claim peer review immunity as they scapegoat the nurse for being a victim of unsafe staffing levels, being assigned too heavy and too acute of assignments, or having inadequate resources or assistance in getting a patient’s needs addressed. Boards of Nursing hear from accused nurses such mitigating circumstances all the time yet they fail to hold accountable to the Nurse Practice Act those Nurse Leaders who knew of and allowed such threats to patient safety. Employer’s and claimed witness’s provide solicited, accusatory statements to the Board that the nurse will never have the opportunity to review or rebut, because the employer has been granted immunity. And the Board will take those statements as fact as they are permitted to consider as evidence hearsay. This would never be permitted in criminal or civil cases, only in administrative law. Because of the Nursing Boards refusal to seek to uncover the root cause of breaches in the standard of care, mitigating circumstances, and complicity of Nurse Leaders they permit the continuation of unsafe conditions therefore failing to protect the public. They further fail to protect the public when they ignore exculpatory evidence in non-comprehensive investigations and in doing so permit the real wrong doer to continue to place patients at risk.
