Losing your license may greatly affect your future career, but only if you failed to hire a nurse attorney for the case. There are some RNs and LVNs who missed their chances to get their license saved from revocation just because they weren’t able to hire any nurse attorney to defend them. Unfortunately, this RN from El Paso, Texas happens to be one of them.
On January 2017, the RN submitted an Application for Initial Licensure for Graduates of Schools in the U.S. to the Board of Nurse Examiners for the State of Texas in which she provided false and misleading information, in that she answered “No” to the question: “Have you ever been convicted of a crime other than minor traffic violations?”
The RN failed to disclose that on March 2013, she was convicted of a felony charge she was placed on probation for a period of two years as a result of her charge.
The RN defends herself by stating that she was informed all records had been expunged; but she had nothing to disclose when she was applying for her nursing license.
Unfortunately, without the lack of an effective nurse attorney to defend her case, the Texas Board of Nursing decided to take disciplinary action against the RN.
Losing your LVN or RN license can compromise your career. However, a skilled nurse attorney can greatly help you in major cases such as this. For assistance regarding your nurse license case, it’s best to contact Nurse Attorney Yong J. An by contacting him at (832) 428-5679.
