Having your nursing license suspended can place your very livelihood at risk, but it does not have to be forever. You can have it reinstated, once you meet certain conditions. Unfortunately, the process of reinstatement is both complex and time-consuming. Learn how an experienced nursing license defense attorney can help you through it, and how having one on your side can improve your overall chances of a favorable outcome.Meeting the Conditions of ReinstatementBefore your nursing license can be reinstated, you must meet certain conditions - namely your ability to safely practice. That can mean providing proof of a drug diversion or treatment program after having your license suspended for an addiction, or it might mean taking additional continuing education units (CEUs) to show you have made the effort to rectify any alleged lapses or shortcomings in the care you provided to patients. Keep in mind that there may be more than one requirement and that each case is unique. Speak with an experienced attorney to determine what measures you will need to take before your nursing license can be reinstated.Attending the Informal ConferenceNurses who have had their license suspended must also go before the Texas Board of Nursing (BON) for an informal conference hearing. Composed of peers in the nursing industry, the BON is the same authority that oversees the licensing of all nurses in the state. They are also responsible for disciplining nurses who have violated the Nursing Practice Act or otherwise compromised patient care or safety. They are also the ones who made the decision to suspend your Texas nursing license, and they will decide if it can or should be reinstated.Sadly, far too many nurses do not recognize the gravity of their situation - even after a suspension has occurred. They wrongly assume that their peers will understand why a mistake occurred and that they will be empathetic to the challenges that you face in your everyday practice. This simply is not the case. Though the BON is comprised of nurses, their primary concern is to protect the safety of the public, and if they have questions regarding your ability to safely practice medicine, they may not reinstate your license.How Our Texas Nursing License Defense Lawyer Can HelpReinstating your license may be a difficult and stressful process, but Oscar San Miguel, Attorney at Law, can help.
