Will A Criminal Record Affect My License?

June 6, 2019 by LORIE A BROWN, R.N., M.N., J.D. Leave a Comment

A guest blog by Evan Brown Nursing boards take public health very seriously. In the interest of protecting public health, most boards take extra precautions to make sure that nurses licensed in their state have a proven track record of delivering excellent care. This includes a critical examination of nurses’ personal and professional histories.

He Said, She Said … Who Do You Believe?

May 23, 2019 by LORIE A BROWN, R.N., M.N., J.D. 5 Comments

An Unusual Nursing Board Case

March 21, 2019 by LORIE A BROWN, R.N., M.N., J.D. 3 Comments

After getting an unfavorable Nursing Board decision, it is unusual for a nurse to appeal the matter to a court.  It is even more unusual for such an appeal to make it all the way to the state Supreme Court.  However, Appellants Christine Mulry Francis and Angela L. Caldwell DeBenedictis did just that. The facts of this case are very interesting.  Nurses Francis and DeBenedictis were employed in supervisory roles in a Delaware correctional facility where a patient … [Read more...]
