What happens when a complaint is filed against me with the Minnesota Board of Nursing?

If the action complained of would violate the Minnesota Nurse Practice Act, there will be an investigation, and you will have a chance to respond. You could face corrective action or discipline if a violation is found.

Do I need an attorney if I’m under investigation by the Minnesota Board of Nursing?

While you are not required to have one, you should have an attorney. Your license and career could be at risk and, besides you, your attorney is the only person involved in the process who is focused on protecting your interests.

How can I protect my nursing license from being suspended or revoked?

While outcomes cannot be guaranteed, the best way to defend against a potential disciplinary action against your license is to be represented by an experienced nurse attorney who knows the process and can help you navigate its complications. You should, ideally, reach out to an attorney as soon as you are aware you are under investigation and before you respond to the Board of Nursing.

If my nursing license is suspended or revoked, can I get it reinstated?

It is possible to have your license reinstated after a suspension, but much more difficult after a revocation. An experienced nurse attorney can be an invaluable help in having your license restored.
