(Www.doh.wa.gov). The site includes information about a health care provider’s license status, the expiration and renewal date of their credential, disciplinary actions and copies of legal documents issued after July 1998. This information is also available by calling 360-236-4700. Consumers who think a health care provider acted unprofessionally are also encouraged to call and report their complaint. In June of 2011 the Nursing Assistant Program and the Board of Pharmacy immediately suspended the registered nursing assistant, pharmacy assistant and pharmacy technician credentials of Larissa M. Michaelis (NA60014957, VB60046420, VT60071046). The Oregon State Board of Pharmacy revoked her credential to practice as a licensed technician in that state. In May of 2011 the Dental Quality Assurance Commission ordered dentist Jon E. Pitts (DE00003847) to surrender his credential. Pitts provided substandard care to a patient. When the patient attempted to schedule a follow-up visit, she learned Pitts had retired without notifying her. Pitts also failed to record and maintain an adequate treatment chart for the patient. In June of 2011 the Department of Health suspended for at least five years the registered nursing assistant credential of Irene B. Kauble-Carlson (NA00133834). She was convicted in Pierce County Superior Court of two counts of second-degree theft and one count of third-degree assault, all class C felonies; and was convicted in Tacoma Municipal Court of one count each of petty theft, shoplifting and criminal assault, all gross misdemeanors. In May of 2011 the Department of Health suspended for at least five years the registered nursing assistant credential of Charlene A. Hawelu (RN00084058). Hawelu left an elderly Alzheimer’s disease patient alone in her car for 45 minutes to an hour while Hawelu was in a casino. The outdoor temperature at the time was about 32 degrees. In May of 2011 the Nursing Care Quality Assurance Commission entered into an agreed order with registered nurse Michele M. Stokke (RN00134288) under which her credential is suspended for at least two years. During a drug screening, Stokke tested positive for cocaine, an illegal drug, and for fentanyl, a controlled substance for which she had no prescription.

Hollywood, CA (PRWEB) April 4, 2009

On March 27, 2009 the California Board of Registered Nursing (CBRN) revoked the Continuing Education License that the Board had previously granted to a subcommittee of the Independent Investigations Group (IIG). This revocation is because of the presentation that the IIG is performing this Sunday, April 5, 2009 which will demonstrate all of the forms of pseudo-science that the CBRN originally certified for the continuing education of nurses.

Last August, the Independent Investigations Group (IIG) at the Center for Inquiry received certification from the California Board of Registered Nursing (CBRN) to teach a Continuing Education class that includes Chinese shyou (literally, snake-oil), anthropomancy (telling the future by reading human entrails), and canupiary (a made-up word) flexibility.

When the CBRN recently heard about the skeptics' plan to teach this certified class on Sunday and publicize it, they rescinded the group's certification citing an error.

The California Board of Registered Nursing is the state agency that licenses nurses and certifies nurse Continuing Education Providers (CEPs). Nurses in California must complete 30 hours of continuing education credit every two years to maintain their licenses.

Four years ago, the IIG lobbied the Nursing Board several times to stop giving credit for the teaching of Therapeutic Touch – a technique long discredited by skeptic organizations such as the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry, publisher of Skeptical Inquirer magazine, and the James Randi Educational Foundation. This procedure involves a practitioner manipulating a mysterious energy field around the patient. No actual physical contact is made with the patient.

When the Board ignored the IIG proposal to only teach science-based medicine, the IIG decided to submit its own supernatural-based nursing course for certification. The Feng Shui course containing other techniques outside the purview of modern medicine (see paragraph #1) won the Board's approval last August. But the Board rescinded its own certification on March 27, 2009 — only after the IIG issued publicity criticizing the Board for letting such an unscientific course be approved in the first place.

IIG Chair and CFI-Los Angeles Executive Director Jim Underdown put this into perspective:

The Board ignored our pleas for years to reexamine their poor standards for continuing education. Now that this Sunday's preposterous class threatens to embarrass them, they suddenly leap into action by claiming we shouldn't have been certified in the first place.
