NR 532 Week 5 Collaboration Café
All licensed personnel were notified 60 days in advance that they must provide a copy of their most recent license. An email was sent from your office reminding them of the deadline. Human resources posted reminders on the announcement boards in all the units. The deadline has passed, and upon review, one of the two nurse practitioners working in the emergency room has not … a current license. You are also unable to verify it online. The one on file expired six (6) months ago.
- Discuss the legal and ethical ramifications of this
- How will you approach this employee and what actions will you take?
- What guidelines for this situation exist with your state’s nursing board?
