Campaign for BORN Reform Launches
Petition Drive for Full Hearing of Adams’ Complaint
The planning committee for MNA Campaign for BORN Reform is issuing a
call for nursing signatures to a petition the campaign will deliver to
every member of the Board of Registration in Nursing prior to their next
meeting, which is scheduled on Jan. 12, 2000. This is also the date
the BORN announced at its last meeting (with a BORN Reform Campaign demonstration
going on outside) that it would issue its ruling on whether to pursue a
complaint filed by Barry Adams against his former nurse administrator.
(See related stories on this page).
The petition calls upon the full Board of Registration in Nursing to:
“participate in a full hearing of the two Complaints filed by Barry Adams
in their entirety, which must include each of the charges contained in
the complaints. Our petition rests with a desire to asure that the
BORN exercises its enforcement authority for all licensed nurses – nursing
administrators/managers as well as staff nurses – so that all are held
fully and fairly accountable for their practice.”
Please circulate the petition among your colleagues. We are looking
for each petitioner to generate at least 10 signatures prior to Dec. 10,
1999. Once you have completed your petition, mail or fax it back
to David Schildmeier at the MNA, 340 Turnpike St., Canton, MA 02021; fax
to 781-821-4445.

petition.
