Case Studies – Nurses We’ve Helped

Do you need to consult with an attorney regarding your nursing license or other professional licensing matter? Call (503) 232-9280 to schedule a free consultation with a nurses attorney.

At Keaney Law Firm, we help all kinds of nurses in Oregon, Washington, and Texas defend their professional licenses. We handle all of the aspects of nursing license defense, including the following: representation with the boards of nursing (OSBN in Oregon, WABON in Washington, TBON in Texas), settlements, investigations, and more.
Below are some examples of the types of cases we have helped to resolve.

Case Study #1 – Improper Care
Legal Situation: We represented a nurse in Oregon who, it was alleged, had improperly failed to provide skin care for a bed-ridden patient who came down with bedsores. The nurse was also alleged to have not documented the improper care.

Successful Result: The Oregon State Board of Nursing investigated the incident. We were able to show that any failure with regard to the care or documentation was minor and did not reflect the nurse’s ability or performance. The result was a dismissal of the case.

Case Study #2 – Administration And Diversion Of Medications
Legal Situation: We represented a nurse in Washington who, it was alleged, had improperly administered and potentially diverted medications. The nurse denied the allegations. The nurse stated that all medications had been properly administered, no diversion had taken place, and the facility at which the nurse had worked had failed to provide all records to the state in connection with the investigation. We provided legal services to the nurse and attempted to get the case dismissed.

Successful Result: The Washington State Board of Nursing dropped the case after meeting with the nurse. We accompanied the nurse to the investigation and successfully argued that the allegations should be dropped.

By providing the examples above, we do not mean to suggest or guarantee the result in any case. These are merely intended as examples of services provided.
