Just letting you all know, due to the kindness of a family member I have a 1 hour long consultation with a specialized attorney tomorrow morning.

I got a phone call today from the investigator! Yikes! Fortunately I didn't pick up as I was driving but she left me a voicemail telling me to call her. Is this normal to get a phone call? And what should I do?

Thanks everyone for replying, I really appreciate it. I will take the advice and get a lawyer somehow.

Thanks to all who have given advice. I guess I need to try get a lawyer. One more question if that's ok. The letter from the BON says I should either respond in writing or arrange an interview within 20 days of the date of the letter (April 27) so that gives me until around May 17. If I can't get to see a lawyer before then, should I go ahead and write them I disagree with the allegation as the above poster advises?

I came across allnurses when searching online for some advice about my situation. I have a letter from the BON telling me I am being investigated due to a complaint. They (BON) say I can respond in writing or arrange an interview with them. I know many will tell me to hire an attorney but I was terminated and I don't have any money. The complaint is malicious and I know there is no proof so I want to know if I should respond and say I deny the allegation? Or should I do nothing? I have looked at several attorney websites where they give some do's and don'ts when facing an investigation, and some say don't respond while some say you should never ignore the BON's letter and you should respond in a timely manner. So now I don't know what to do. For now, all I need to know is, what could harm me the most.....responding to say I deny it? Or not respond at all?
