This woman was involved in THIRTEEN previous crashes, and has a history of “documented profound mental health issues,” on top of no judgement, control or self awareness in racing 90 miles/hr through a busy intersection ?
What on earth is she doing as an ICU nurse, entrusted with the care of seriously ill people ??? How is it possible she got this job?
My daughter is presently applying for CA registration and it's taking 3 months to go through her records, experience, background, education,.. everything.
I'm speechless.
I couldn't find records for 13 previous crashes. And some people are just crappy drivers. I did see that some of those crashes might have been her being rear-ended?
Working as a nurse is highly stressful, working on the front lines as a nurse during the pandemic has been brutal. This might be an unpopular opinion, but health care workers also get depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues. Many get counseling. Many have their own psychiatrists and providers. This is nothing new or suggesting of not being fit to practice. I got counseling during the pandemic for caregiver burnout. Should I lose my license? Should my friends who are doctor or nurses who get help for mental health concerns lose their licenses? Documented profound mental health issues could mean a lot of things. Keep in mind, none of these issues were so unmanageable that her mental health providers and experts felt they needed to be mandatory reporters. We all have our masks in every profession. We can be very competent and also a mess in our day-to-day lives.
And yes, to get licensed you are screened, finger printed, and they look for anything that is legally reportable. DUIs, domestic violence, Mental Health holds, all of those things. Trust me, what happened is horrific, I just would like more facts. Watching that video was shocking.
Does she have a permanent residence in Houston?
So the Mercedes is hers, she drove it from TX to CA and then was planning on driving it back cross country to Texas to hop a plane to Hawaii for her next job?
Wonder how long she had been in CA and where she had worked prior to that gig.

That is the nature of travel nursing. 12-16 week assignments in various places. Sometimes 4 or more assignments a year. She has her home base/tax state. Usually a state with no income tax. She would drive to locations requiring a vehicle. Fly to Hawaii, rent a vehicle. Keep in mind, when you are working shorter assignments in various locations that have staffing issues, so holding together oneself professionally for a short duration is not too difficult.
