Board of Nursing Actions

Nurses General Nursing

If there is anyone out there who has had to go before the Board of Nursing in their state for allegations, could you kindly e-mail me. I had to. Wanted to do some travel nursing. As it turns out, even after the Board that issues the order, which in my case was just a reprimand (take an online course). My license has not been restricted to practice (technically). if I want to secure a license in another state, even if the order is disclosed online, I still have to go through a new hearing in the state where i wish to secure a license. their rationale is that they won't just accept some other state's decision.

Unbelievable!

My career is ruined. If someone out there has gone through this, I would sure like to hear how you have handled this and how you have been able to obtain jobs.

Thanks :crying2:

You just need to find a Federal Facility... They will honor ANY state license. You will still have to disclose whatever's on your license but then again that is public record.

Problem, here. Just because they will accept any state license does not mean that they will give you a job. The first question they will ask is "Have there been any actions taken against your license?" etc.

If anything, many federal agencies are much stricter on who they hire, require a much more encompassing background check, and want personnel to have pristine histories.

In Louisiana nurses who make deals with the board do alot better than those using lawyers. The board really comes down hard on those people.
