License Accusation

Nurses LPN/LVN

Published

So finally after almost 5 years, the BVNPT has decided to make a formal accusation against my license. I have retained a lawyer and hoping for a quick resolution but we know how that goes. My question Is, do I inform my job (different than the one the accusation is from) that this has happened or wait until the outcome? It’s public record now and anyone searching my license can see the whole court documents. I feel the right thing is to tell them and take my chances but I’m getting advice from others not to say a word. I did reach out to my lawyer and hoping to hear back tomorrow with her thoughts, I’d also like to hear my fellow nurses advice on this. Thank you in advance

I just received an email from my lawyer, the board is dismissing my case due to lack of evidence! ITS OVER! after almost 5 years, many tears and money, I am free! Always stand up for yourself and protect your personal and professional integrity at all costs! Keep being the awesome nurses you are and fight for your rights! Much love o you all! Time for a glass of wine now LOL

So happy for you. However, this was 5 years of your life affected for unsubstantiated charges. 

The BON is power crazy. Might as well ask your attorney if you can press charges against THEM. That horrendous experience would be enough to get me out of nursing forever.

Best wishes.

Been there, done that, ASN, RN My family said the exact same thing but I am just glad its over and I can move on. This definately has jaded me with nursing and I'm taking some time to decompress and ill go from there. It's sad because I waited until I was 45 to go back to school and I truly love being a nurse. But, this took a toll on me for sure. Hugs to you

Does anyone have any clue as to how long it takes the BVNPT to take the accusation off the breeze website? They sure put it up fast, same day it was filed but they are taking their time taking it off. Grrr

This is bureaucracy for you.  Open-and-shut needs to be dragged out.  So nerve-wracking.  As draining as it is, I'm glad you're putting up the good fight for your livelihood and reputation.  Many people just fold and it makes me so sad.

I'll be certainly sending good vibes your way.  You will come out of this much stronger and more confident and you'll be surprised at how much harder it'll be to rattle you in the future.  Hang in there.
