Understanding The Nursing Board Complaint Investigation Process
The Ohio Board of Nursing investigates a wide variety of matters, including:
- License application process
- Past conduct affecting the ability to obtain a license
- Unsafe methods or negligence in practice
- Exceeding the scope of practice
- Medication errors
- Patient abuse
- Inappropriate contact or relationships with patients
- Impairment of the ability to practice as a result of chemical dependency, alcohol abuse, or mental illness
- Sexual misconduct
Initially, the Ohio Board of Nursing gathers information through an investigation that often includes an interview and statement from the nurse, before determining whether to close the matter, offer a Consent Agreement or proceed to the formal disciplinary process.
