Nurse BON Situation Handled Like a Boss
I had received a letter from the BON (Board of Nursing) that a “complaint” had been lodged against me. Also that they had been notified of myself, and four other nurses had been in a medical malpractice case. Which we were found not guilty and case
was dismissed with prejudice. But the BON decided that a investigation and hearing needed to happen. I was freaking out this is my license and livelihood that is being investigated and for what. Oh they also tried to force me to become a part of the “diversion” program. I was not having that either, I was like WHY do I need to be part of a 3 year program when I don’t have a drug problem nor was I charged or investigated for drugs. Their rationale was that it would appear better to the hearing officer that I was doing everything possible to be a better person. Anyway that led to me researching the BON, as well as the Hearing process. I learned BON doesn’t care about Nurses, they are there for the public. As well as anyone, anytime can anonymously or not, lodge a complaint against you. So I am going crazy looking for Healthcare Defense attorneys, and there’s literally like 7 in the whole state. Paul is one of them. He was amazing everything was handled perfectly and he made me feel secure and positive throughout the whole ordeal. That lasted approximately a year. His fee was a standard 5000.00 retainer. As well as an hourly rate for the filling and responding to all the responses and motions. I would definitely recommend him to anyone in medical field who needs representation. He was so amazing at the hearing. His line of questioning is deadly to the other side. His ability to break down arguments and show the fallacy in the prosecutions accusations was a thing of beauty. He was able to shred the prosecution’s case into pieces by 1pm. I would definitely recommend Paul for anyone else who is afraid of being a victim of unfounded allegation’s. He was also very quick to respond, on top of everything, and most importantly honest. He was also easy to talk to, he listened and I knew after telling him my dilemma that he believed in me and wanted to help. You want someone who is genuinely on your side and Paul definitely was!!! Many Thanks to you Paul!
