This license protection case involves a registered nurse (RN) that had been working as a private-duty home health nurse for approximately eight months when she was assigned to an overnight shift caring for a ten-year-old female patient who had been paralyzed in a vegetative state since an acute brain injury sustained in infancy. The patient could not move or breathe on her own, and she was ventilator-dependent with a permanent tracheostomy (“trach”). This was the first time the RN had been assigned to care for the patient.
