Allegations Against RN Dismissed

By Cory Silkman • October 10, 2025
Professional license defense attorney, Cory Silkman, successfully defended a Registered Nurse's license against a complaint filed with the Maryland Board of Nursing. The person who filed the complaint alleged that the nurse disconnected a patient's telemetry monitoring, and the patient subsequently died later that shift due to cardiac complications. Mr. Silkman was able to show that the nurse repeated verified that telemetry monitoring was in place, frequently assessed the patient's status and cardiac monitoring, and that no telemetry alarms ever alerted the nurse of any problems with the telemetry equipment. All allegations against the nurse were dismissed, and the nurse's board case is now closed. If you need an experienced professional license defense attorney, call Cory Silkman today at 410-415-9158.

Registered Nurse Defended and Protected

By Cory Silkman • September 19, 2025
Cory Silkman, an attorney for nurses in Maryland, helped protect a registered nurse from having sanctions imposed on her license. A complaint was filed with the Maryland Board of Nursing alleging that the nurse failed to call 911 or perform CPR on an unconscious resident in an assisted living facility. After careful review of the allegations and evidence, it was noted that several "witnesses" had submitted false written statements against the nurse. Those statements contradicted video footage of what occurred at the scene. The facts clearly showed that the nurse not only did everything she could to respond to the emergency, but went above and beyond. If you need help protecting your nursing license, or if you have a Maryland Board of Nursing case, contact Cory Silkman today at 410-415-9158. A nurse attorney can help protect your license and career.

Daycare Re-Opened

By Cory Silkman • August 12, 2025

With the assistance of Silkman LLC and Cory Silkman, the emergency suspension was appealed, and the Office of Child negotiated a settlement to re-open the daycare without the need for a hearing.
