There are many, many reasons
why licensing bodies reprimand, penalize, and/or suspend/revoke
licenses. Some reasons, it might be said, fall under
the category of a professional believing that "ignorance
is bliss."
• "[Name] … is duly
licensed as a registered nurse in the state of [State]
… During the weekend of [Date], [Name] failed
to distribute thirty-nine (39) a.m. medications and
nineteen (19) p.m. medications resulting in a total
of fifty-eight (58) medication errors. … [Name]
falsified the medication administration sheets to
reflect that the medications were given to residents.
The facility reported that when questioned about
the incidents, [Name] appeared not to understand
the seriousness of her actions and did not respond
appropriately to address, defend or explain her actions."
• "While employed and on
duty as a certified registered nurse anesthetist
(CRNA), licensee admitted to the charges of administering
2,000 times the recommended dose of a narcotic anesthetic
to each of three patients because he was unfamiliar
with the drug, and after being suspended from his
employment as a CRNA at one hospital, he falsely
answered "no" to questions on an employment application
for another hospital that asked, respectively, whether
his clinical privileges had ever been suspended and
whether he had ever had a limitation or reduction
of clinical privileges. In addition, after the aforesaid
suspension, he falsely answered "no" to a question
on his [State] nursing registration renewal application
which asked whether, since he last registered, any
hospital or licensed facility had restricted or terminated
his professional employment or privileges."
