Reginald Keith Baisden, Jr

Between April 24, 2017, and September 13, 2018, Reginald Keith Baisden, Jr., obtained employment with a social services agency in the Houston, Texas area using falsified licensure information. During this time, Mr. Baisden represented himself as a registered nurse (RN) while using the credentials of “RN” on the agency’s business and medical records. Although the various positions held by Mr. Baisden did not require a nursing license, the agency increased Mr. Baisden’s salary based on the falsified licensure information he provided. Further, on September 26, 2018, Reginald Keith Baisden, Jr., attempted to gain employment as a RN with a medical clinic in the Duluth, Georgia, area, by again submitting falsified licensure information indicating he held a RN license from the State of Texas. Staff at the medical clinic were alerted to the attempt when they tried to verify the licensure information provided by Mr. Baisden and found that the license belonged to an individual with a completely different first and last name. The investigation conducted by the Board revealed that Reginald Keith Baisden, Jr., has never been issued a nursing license and/or privilege to practice nursing in the State of Texas.
