Morriss and Nail Paradise
The Tennessee Department of Health issues a monthly release listing disciplinary actions taken by the health related boards during the prior month. Actions taken in October by the Tennessee Board of Nursing include Wendy C. Morriss, RN, of Parrottsville. The report says Morriss is guilty of a crime; unfit or incompetent by reason of negligence, habits or other cause; and guilty of unprofessional conduct. Her RN license has been suspended with terms, following her arrest for DUI. The Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance’s Division of Regulatory Boards has fined a Newport nail salon. The latest Disciplinary Action Report, which compiles the actions taken by its boards and commissions, lists Nail Paradise as having failed to ensure proper licensure. The Cosmetology & Barber Examiners Board fined the local firm $100. The Division of Regulatory Boards protects the health and safety of Tennessee citizens through boards, commissions, and programs by ensuring that persons meet minimum professional standards, by responsively and timely handling complaints, and by providing consumer education on regulated professions and industries. These boards, commissions, and programs are empowered to take disciplinary action – including revocation of licenses and assessment of civil penalties – against license holders found guilty of violating laws governing their professions.
