When the Nevada State Board of Nursing (NSBN) opens an investigation into your nursing practice, you should expect to receive a letter; in the upper right-hand corner it will say “Notice of Complaint/Investigation.” An investigator employed at the board will, in that letter, outline the allegations and the possible statutory requirements such allegations would violate. The NSBN will request your cooperation in the investigation, which may involve submitting documentation or answering questions, within 14 days of receipt of their letter. They will also advise you that you can retain an attorney to represent you.

It is important to take the investigation seriously and to seek legal guidance from an experienced attorney who is familiar with nursing licensure issues. An experienced attorney can help you navigate the investigation process and advocate for your interests. An attorney will be the one communicating with the board throughout the process, rather than you. An attorney can also help you understand your rights and obligations during the investigation, such as the right to remain silent, the obligation to provide accurate information, and whether to resolve the case with board staff or proceed to a hearing before the NSBN.

If you have struggled with alcohol or drug addiction and have checked into rehab, it may impact your nursing licensure. Depending on the circumstances and the severity of the addiction, the Nevada State Board of Nursing (NSBN) may require you to provide evidence of your treatment and recovery before renewing or granting your license.

It is important to disclose your history of addiction and treatment when applying for or renewing your nursing license. The NSBN may require you to provide documentation of your treatment, such as a letter from your therapist or sponsor, proof of attendance at support group meetings, and evidence of sobriety.

The NSBN takes addiction and recovery seriously and may require you to enter into a monitoring program to ensure that you are practicing safely while in recovery. Failure to disclose your addiction history or comply with the requirements of the monitoring program can lead to disciplinary action against your license.

In serious cases of addiction, the best option may be to temporarily suspend your license while you receive intensive treatment. Such options may avoid a public reprimand if you commit early to this course of action and successfully complete the treatment and agree to additional monitoring.
