On or about August 21, 2019, while employed as an RN at a nursing facility in Beaumont, Texas, and on assignment in the home of a patient, RN lacked the fitness to practice professional nursing in that she was observed to be sleeping while on duty. RN’s condition could have affected her ability to recognize subtle signs, symptoms, or changes in patient’s conditions, and could have affected her ability to make rational, accurate, and appropriate assessments, judgments, and decisions regarding patient care, thereby placing the patients in potential danger.
