Registered Nurses

The California Board of registered nursing (BRN) enforces nursing practice regulations in California. The BRN licenses and regulates registered nurses and advanced practice nurses such as nurse practitioners. A BRN investigation can be triggered by:

• Allegations of gross negligence while caring for patients
• An arrest or criminal conviction
• A report by an employer alleging unprofessional conduct, including abuse of alcohol or drugs
• Diversion of controlled substances. 

Remember, investigators are not your friends and confessing to your transgressions will not make things easier for you. Indeed, anything you say can and will be held against you. Therefore, it is critically important to hire competent council to calmly and professionally guide you through the process. 

As always, if you are being investigated by the BRN, you need to be proactive to help you deal with the serious threat of a disciplinary action.  If you are accused of unprofessional conduct, negligence, or incompetence, contact me so we can discuss your case and prepare a defense.
