Found a law firm devoted specifically to this. In all honesty, I would not go that route as I don't have the time or money with my kids, but I just think it is sad that they can treat nurses the way they do. The horror stories I've read about and the cases that these lawyers are working on are down right dirty and dispicable. Wish I could take more action to help the field, but that's government for you. Figured I'd find more nurses here fighting this battle, but guess I will continue to follow the group I found online.

I was just asking them if I needed to get a lawyer due to the refusal or if there was some other way to go about it. She said she didn't know, so I asked if I could speak to someone who did and bam hung up.

That's to file a complaint about a workplace or nurse etc.

O, it's much worse than that. It was just a small example of my most recent interaction with them. My last workplace is refusing to file the paperwork for my license renewal, so the board suspended my license without informing me. Now they will not give it back until this place fills it out and will not even send them a letter to inform them it's required and legally the workplace should do this. I had to go to a nursing program similar to this site to inform me of a lawyer to contact since the board just said it's my problem not there's and hung up. I found out my license was suspended due to a job I applied for calling and informing me I didn't even have a license. Pretty sure they legally have to inform you when they take your license. They took it 4 months ago and I had no clue. I've been a nurse for years and have never had a problem with the renewal process.

I have spoken to a lawyer. She is backed up with similar cases. I mostly just want to be able to file a complaint. They are very rude, for example, just hanging up when they don't know how to answer your question. Well after I asked if there was someone else there that could answer my question. I was asking for honest help and was not being rude.

Out of curiosity, has anyone ever filed a complaint against the board of nursing or is there a way to file a complaint and with who would you file a complaint?
