dc.description.abstractIn 2009, a nurse was arrested and charged with endangering the welfare of a child in violation of state law because the nurse did not report suspected sexual abuse of children. After an investigation and hearing, the board of nursing (BON) found the nurse guilty of unprofessional conduct and suspended her license for 2 years. On appeal, the superior court reversed the BON's decision because the suspected abuse was outside of the nurse's employment. This article reviews the legal and ethical basis for the BON's decision, the legal basis for the court's reversal, and the implications for BONs. (Author Abstract)en_US
