For nurses, a complaint or investigation before the Texas Board of Nursing can put years of education, professional experience, and hard work at risk. Attorney Benjamin Baker represents nurses facing licensing and disciplinary matters and helps clients understand their options at every stage of the process. Based in Sherman, Texas, Benjamin represents nurses throughout Grayson County, Fannin County, Collin County, and surrounding areas in matters involving the Texas Board of Nursing.
The Texas Board of Nursing regulates licensed vocational nurses, registered nurses, and advanced practice registered nurses throughout the state. When the Board receives a complaint involving alleged violations of the Nursing Practice Act or Board rules, it may open an investigation and request information from the nurse involved.
Receiving notice of an investigation can be intimidating. The allegations may involve clinical decisions, documentation, medication administration, professional conduct, criminal charges, substance-related concerns, or other issues that could potentially affect a nursing license.
Benjamin works with nurses to evaluate the allegations, understand the evidence, prepare an appropriate response, and determine how best to protect their professional interests.
Matters may include:
Complaints and Board investigations
Responses to allegations
Nursing practice and documentation issues
Disciplinary proceedings
Proposed Board orders
License suspension or revocation matters
Reinstatement and other licensing issues
Matters involving RNs, LVNs, APRNs, and CRNAs
Professional licensing cases require an understanding not only of legal procedure, but also of the realities of healthcare practice. Benjamin has extensive experience representing nurses and other healthcare professionals in licensing, employment, and professional disputes.
A Board complaint does not automatically mean that disciplinary action will occur. The Texas Board of Nursing reviews and investigates complaints before determining whether further action is warranted. A thoughtful response can be an important part of presenting the facts, addressing the allegations, and providing the Board with relevant context.
Nurses should take Board correspondence seriously and carefully consider how they respond.
