Nursing Board Mental Health

Updated:   Published

Can a nursing board suspend a nurses license for a suspected mental health issue and then publish that the nurse is suspended for being mentally ill?

Specializes in Psych, Corrections, Med-Surg, Ambulatory.

A state board's responsibility is to protect the public, not the nurse.

If a complaint was made about someone's practice, and supported by an investigation, the Board has the responsibility to encumber practice.  This is a matter of public record so they can publish this.

I'm sorry you're going through such a bummer of an experience.
