How Do State Nursing Boards Handle Disciplinary Actions?

When a complaint is filed against a nurse, the BON investigates the matter thoroughly. This process may involve:
1. Investigation: Gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, and reviewing medical records.
2. Hearing: Conducting a formal hearing where the nurse can present their case.
3. Decision: The board makes a decision based on the findings, which may result in disciplinary actions such as fines, suspension, mandatory education, or license revocation.
