The Health Systems Quality Assurance Division of the state Department of Health recently took disciplinary actions or has withdrawn charges against these Clark County health care providers.
In December, the Nursing Commission charged licensed practical nurse Linda Roses Burgins with unprofessional conduct and immediately suspended her credential. Burgins injected a patient with insulin contrary to a physician’s orders. The state Department of Social and Health Services determined that Burgins neglected a vulnerable adult. She can’t be employed in having unsupervised access to vulnerable adults.
In December, the Ambulatory Surgery Facilities Program entered an agreement with Salmon Creek Plastic Surgery that modifies its license to operate as an ambulatory surgical facility until it meets certain terms and conditions, including passing two announced inspections before Sept. 2018. Salmon Creek must pay a $23,000 civil penalty, as well as $6,000 for inspection costs. Inspections in 2013, 2015 and 2017 identified a variety of deficiencies at the facility. Some deficiencies identified in 2017 were repeat findings.
In December, the Massage Therapist Program charged massage therapist Lexus P. Vang with unprofessional conduct. Vang allegedly didn’t provide proof of having completed required continuing education.
