Please Consider the following If a state board of nursing Application for Licensure by Examination requires you to make an affirmative disclosure of a criminal conviction(s), chemical dependency, mental illness, etc. Consider consulting with a licensure defense attorney in your state before you submit your Application for Licensure by Examination to a state board of nursing.
DO NOT rely on the informal advice provided to you by friends, family, nurses, student nurses, nursing instructors/professors/faculty, and others when:
1. Determining whether or not to disclose information on the Application;
2. Considering how the state board of nursing will review your Application;
3. Analyzing the specific facts related to your suitability to practice nursing; and
4. Evaluating your options for licensure.
This is the role of an attorney. YOU NEED LEGAL ADVICE FROM A LICENSED ATTORNEY in your state.
Consider obtaining legal advice and counseling (it can be in the form of a legal consultation) from a licensed attorney in your state who has experience in nursing licensure matters. Contact your state nurses association for a referral to an nursing licensure attorney (www.nursingworld.org) or contact The American Association of Nurse Attorneys (www.taana.org.) You can then decide whether or not you need to retain an attorney to represent you before the state board of nursing in regards to your Application for Licensure by Examination.
