The process of obtaining a nursing or health care professional license is not only challenging, but it’s also time-consuming. If you have a criminal conviction or unique circumstance which may negatively impact your ability to be granted a health care license, you must consult with an experienced attorney. Your career or future depends on your ability to positively present yourself to the board.
In instances where the applicant has a criminal history, substance abuse/alcohol problem, or discipline in another state, the board members are trying to discern from the testimony if he or she is safe to practice medicine.
Don’t Face State Licensing Boards On Your Own.
If you are applying for a nursing or health care license and have had prior adverse action taken against you in another state or during your academic training, you should contact an experienced healthcare attorney to assist you in the process.
Some tips to ease the process include:
- After obtaining an experienced attorney, ask how to answer application questions when unclear.
- Submit follow-up documents in a timely manner.
- Make sure your address is correct and complete.
- Follow-up with sources sending the Board of Nursing documents.
- Provide answers to the questions asked, and no more.
- Submit corrections when it becomes apparent you need to modify an answer.
