Nurse License Renewals
Nursing License Renewal Issues – If you are a nurse, or hold a similar state license you will be required to periodically renew that license. If you anticipate a nursing license renewal issue, or you are concerned there could be one, Texas Nursing Lawyers is always happy to consult with nurses approaching renewal.
An arrest could cause nursing license renewal issues
An arrest that occurred after your license was issued, or since your last renewal, will likely be REQUIRED to be reported. Careful attention should be paid to how arrest is disclosed to the Texas Board of Nursing (TBON). Disclosing unnecessary facts or misleading the board in any fashion could have disastrous consequences. Any misstep could result in The Board broadening the scope of their investigation, opening a new investigation, suspending or even revoking your nursing license.
Do not wait until the month your nursing license renewal is due to contact a Texas Board of Nursing (TBON) attorney. It will take more time than that if you are anticipating nursing license renewal issues.
If you have been arrested you should contact Texas Nursing Lawyers for a consultation about how your arrest could affect your license renewal. Buck and Deborah can work with you on both your criminal issues and your nursing license and address the TxBON prior to renewal to address nursing license renewal issues early in the process.
