The Kentucky Board of Nursing scrapped its requirement that nurses take "implicit bias" training as a "mandatory" continuing education course for licensure.
The Kentucky Board of Nursing has denied claims its mandatory "structural racism" training was enforced through the threat of license revocation, but Kentucky law shows nurses could be stripped of their licenses for failing to comply with the board's orders.
The Kentucky Board of Nursing mandated nurses to take an "implicit bias" course to "recognize the history of racism in healthcare" and threatened "discipline" for failure to do so.
Detectives say the nurse administered "something special" to a 97-year-old World War II veteran who'd come in after a slip and fall. The man would die days later.
