P.S. is a licensed vocational nurse. While working as a home health nurse, P.S. aggressively handled a young child who was ventilator-dependent, used lewd language directed at the child and fell asleep during her shift. The mother of the child reported the conduct, which was caught on video, to the home health agency, which later reported the conduct to the Board.
After a response to the allegations was submitted by counsel, the Board allowed P.S. to keep her license and issued her a Board Order. The Order placed her on probation and required that she complete certain continuing educational courses.
