EP 115: Straight Out of the Headlines: Board of Nursing Injustices
In this conversation, Nurse Erica interviews Amy Siple, a Nurse Practitioner who faces severe consequences from the Kansas Board of Nursing after an unintentional lapse in her nursing license. Amy shares her journey, detailing the challenges she faced, the emotional toll of the investigation, and the broader implications for nurses everywhere. The discussion highlights the punitive culture within nursing boards, the need for oversight, and the importance of advocacy and support among nurses. There is need for reform and legislative action in how nursing boards operate and discipline nurses. Nurses need to be aware of the consequences of unprofessional conduct. Communication with the Board of Nursing should be approached with caution. Awareness and education about the board's processes are crucial for nurses. Amy's story serves as a call to action for the nursing community to unite and stand against injustices within the profession.
