Common Disciplinary Actions Handled by Nursing License Defense Lawyers
Drug Diversion – by definition, drug diversion is the misappropriation of prescription medications without the legal authorization to do so. Nurses can be accused of drug diversion for failure to properly dispose of medication, stealing narcotics, and Pyxis errors. Our nursing license defense lawyers have helped hundreds of Boise, ID nurses to defend against drug diversion allegations, ranging from state licensing infractions to multiple-count federal indictments. Here at the Boise DUI Guy, our nursing license defense attorneys have ample experience handling drug diversion cases from the minor to the severe.
DUI – unfortunately, many nurses lose their licenses due to a DUI charge, and still others submit themselves to long, invasive, and expensive monitoring under a state impairment program. Too often, nurses agree to enter the impairment program without first speaking with a nursing license defense lawyer in Boise. Our attorneys work hard to help nurses like yourself protect their licenses without the need for invasive monitoring requirements. Whether you have been recently charged with a DUI or are facing disciplinary action for a prior DUI charge, the Boise DUI Guy’s nursing license defense lawyers can help you.
Failing a Drug Test – Our nursing license defense lawyers often represent nurses who have failed a pre-employment or employer-ordered drug test. Typically, these tests are failed due to pain medications, benzodiazepines, alcohol, or marijuana. It is also common for a nurse who fails a drug test to also face charges of drug diversion. Failing a drug test as a nurse can be a very serious issue – often, a nurse who fails a drug test sees their employment swiftly terminated is reported to the state board of nursing, and will face potential licensing action. In some cases, the license may be immediately suspended. Our nursing license defense lawyers can help you protect your license and your livelihood – but time is short, so if you have failed a drug test, contact a nursing license defense lawyer right away.
Nursing License Suspension – There are many reasons that a nursing license could be suspended, including drug-related charges, fraud, probation violations, and failure to comply with an ordered impairment program. Our nursing license defense lawyers have helped many nurses see suspended licenses restored. If your nursing license has been suspended, there is a very short period of time within which you may challenge the suspension, so contact a nursing license defense lawyer right away.
Criminal Convictions – Our nursing license defense lawyers have experience assisting nurses who are facing criminal charges currently or nurses who have prior criminal convictions and need help reporting to the state board of nursing. Many nurses who have a criminal history need assistance obtaining or renewing a nursing license – another area in which a nursing license defense attorney can help you. In addition, Boise DUI Guy represents nurses facing disciplinary action for failing to report a criminal conviction in a timely manner. Our nursing license defense lawyers will work hard to ensure that a previous or current criminal conviction does not cost you your career.
Other Issues Related to Nursing Licenses
Difficulty Getting a Nursing License – In addition to helping nurses retain or reinstate their nursing licenses, our nursing license defense lawyers also help nurses and students who have a prior criminal history or previous disciplinary issues get the nursing license they have worked hard for. The process of getting a license with a prior conviction can take longer, but in most cases, a prior sanction or conviction will not automatically preclude you from obtaining a license. Our nursing license defense lawyers can assist in bringing these issues to the state board of nursing during the application process, as well as represent you during any necessary hearings.
Reporting Actions and Convictions from Another State – Often, nurses report disciplinary action or prior convictions without speaking to a nursing license defense lawyer. Other nurses may fail to report these issues entirely. Either of these courses of action is not recommended – reporting these actions requires a balance between adequately reporting the necessary issues, demonstrating that you are safe to practice, and not divulging unnecessary information which could negatively impact your license. Our nursing license defense attorneys have assisted many nurses in reporting disciplinary and criminal events to the state board of nursing.
