Here are some more unusual items, taken from licensing board action reports, which fall under the sensational headers of: sex, violence, and mayhem! Sex• "Viewed pornographic
sites on computer at nurse's station."
• "(A)ccepted samples (to

a nurse who worked in a doctor's office, printing

Viagra to her friend." (Our comment: "Friend," is

with five counts arising from an incident in which

of uttering death threats. The member received a
suspended sentence and nine months' probation. He
self-reported the conviction … and completed
an anger management course."
• "Causing a patient harm
… actual or implied threats" Mayhem• "Felony conviction for

(Our italics.)
• "Falsely accused a patient
of stalking …"
