Tampa Nursing License Lawyer
Those who enter the nursing field often do so out of a desire to provide healing and comfort to those who are injured or afflicted with illnesses and conditions. To ensure that members of this profession are qualified and capable of providing high-quality care, the Florida Board of Nursing is tasked with evaluating nurse candidates for initial licensure, enforcing standards applicable to nurses attempting to renew their licenses, and investigating and disciplining nurses who engage in misconduct or who provide substandard care. While the Board’s actions are beneficial to the public (or are designed to be beneficial to the public), these actions can cause difficulties for individuals who desire to practice nursing in Florida. The Tampa nursing license lawyers at Law Offices of David P. Rankin, P.A. works with individuals experiencing licensing and/or disciplinary issues with the Board to resolve these matters successfully and enable them to practice their chosen profession.
Resolve Your Licensing and/or Disciplinary Matter with the Help of David P. Rankin
There are a variety of reasons and circumstances that may cause the Board of Nursing to refuse to grant a nursing applicant a new license, renew the license of a practicing nurse, and/or to initiate disciplinary proceedings against a licensed nurse. Some of these reasons and circumstances include:
- Failing to meet the minimum educational and/or experience requirements to become licensed;
- Failing to maintain proficiency in the nursing field as reflected by a lack of completed continuing education programs;
- Providing care to a patient that is below the level of care that Florida nurses are expected to provide in that particular situation;
- Obtaining a criminal charge that reflects on the nurse’s or applicant’s ability to perform his or her duties in a competent and professional manner; and/or
- Committing a crime during the performance of the nurse’s job duties (such as unlawfully distributing a controlled substance or a prescription-only medication to a patient who does not have a prescription for that medicine).
