lpn with actions against license to rn

Published

i have a question. i am currently an lpn and was just accepted into rn school. i have had actions taken against my license. i was wondering if this would effect me getting my rn license next year, also if it will show on the license verification under my rn license as well, even tho it was against mylpn license. so basically, does the discipline carry over to another license? cannot get a straight answer from anyone. any info would be a big help.

It is highly likely that it will show that you had an action against your license, especially since it was an action against a nursing/healthcare license. A HIPAA violation is generally taken very seriously. You might also want to ask at/inform your school of nursing, especially if this is a action occurred AFTER you applied to nursing school.

Also, there is an organization of nurse attorneys, http://www.taana.org that has a referral service if your present attorney is not experienced in going before professional boards/board of nursing.
