Board of Nursing - Complaint Process
When a complaint is filed with the Maryland Board of Nursing, the case gets assigned to a board investigator. The investigator's role is to investigate the facts to determine whether a possible violation of the Nurse Practice Act or Code of Ethics has been committed.
A nurse will receive a letter from the investigator indicating that a complaint has been filed. The letter suggests that the nurse submit a written response to the allegations, and arrange for a time to speak with the investigator. Information you share with the investigator can be used against you. Your interview with the investigator will be done under oath, and recorded.
The investigator then subpoenas relevant documents and talks with anyone else with knowledge. Once the investigation has concluded, the Board votes on whether to prosecute the case. The Board prosecutes both minor and major cases. It also prosecutes cases in which no one was harmed, and those that do not relate to patient care.
If the Board pursues the case, it hands the case over to a prosecutor at the Maryland Office of the Attorney General. A charging document is then filed and served on the nurse. Following the issuance of charges, the nurse has the opportunity to negotiate a settlement. If no settlement can be reached, the case proceeds to an evidentiary hearing (i.e. a trial before the Board), where the prosecutor presents evidence against the nurse in order to impose sanctions and even a monetary penalty against the nurse's license.
The Board of Nursing process is legal in nature, and you should be represented by a nursing license lawyer.
