Kearney Law - Nurse Attorney for Severe Injuries

03/24/2026

I have been practicing law full time since I left Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Nursing on Dec 31. I loved teaching nursing law & ethics but could not be a part of the state's anti-DEI & anti-LBGTQI+ initiatives. Nursing students and their patients deserve better.

The overhaul of higher education in Texas has taken an emotional toll for some professors. They are leaving the profession or fleeing the state, and heading...

Nurses (and other healthcare providers) in the U.S. have a legal and ethical duty NOT to assist with detaining immigrants who have sought healthcare. A patient who is an immigrant has a right to privacy and confidentiality like any other patient. Further, it is NOT within the scope of an individual nurse's knowledge, experience, or expertise to decide if a document presented is a valid and enforceable warrant so if ICE or law enforcement shows up at a hospital, nurses should refer them to the hospital's legal department. And hospitals have a duty to protect their employees. If you know of a nurse who is arrested in Texas for protecting their patient, please contact me at 214-810-1867. https://www.nursingworld.org/practice-policy/nursing-excellence/ethics/code-of-ethics-for-nurses/

The Code of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements, updated in 2015, is the profession's non-negotiable ethical standard.
