Angry Nurses and $9.99

I was contacted by a nurse who is very angry about her situation. She was reported to the Board of Nursing and voluntarily provided a very detailed written statement with lots of admissions and damaging information to the Board of Nursing. The nurse received a Consent Agreement from the Board proposing to resolve the pending complaint. The nurse is angry. I could hear the anger in her voice through the phone. I receive at least 5-10 calls a month from angry nurses.

If I had $9.99 for every time, I have made this statement, I could redesign my lifestyle and work schedule. I could sit for the Nevada  and California Bar Exams and obtain my law license via endorsement in Arizona. I would practice part-time in the sunny states. I would spend my remaining years (I'm 36 years old) in 80+ degree weather year around. I would live in Las Vegas but maintain part-time law practices in Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana also. I like this plan!

Here is goes....The submission of a statement to the Board of Nursing when you are the subject of the investigation, DOES NOT automatically resolve the complaint. The Board staff don't review the statement and say "oh okay that explains everything; this case is now over."

If you receive correspondence from the Board of Nursing stating that you are the subject of a disciplinary investigation, seek legal advice before you submit a written response or before you agree to a phone interview.

Are you an angry nurse? If so, why are you angry? Is it constructive or destructive anger?
