Do I Need a Lawyer For My Board of Nursing Case
Do I Need a Nurse Lawyer For My Maryland Board of Nursing Case?
The answer to that question may depend on the specifics of your case, but here are a few things to keep in mind:
First, your written response to the complaint, and what you say to the investigator can and will be used against you. Many nurses mistakenly believe that if they just tell the investigator what happened, or confess to something minor that they did not do, that their case will simply go away. That is usually not the case. The board investigator's role is to gather evidence to turn over to the Office of the Attorney General for prosecution. The board prosecutes both minor and major infractions of the Nurse Practice Act.
Second, if you do not get an attorney, you are likely to make mistakes that cannot be undone, or make your case impossible to defend. An attorney can help you prevent mistakes and lay a good foundation for your defense.
Third, the board process is a legal process. Although submitting a written response to a complaint or talking with an investigator might seem harmless, evidence is being gathered by the board. A nurse license lawyer can help you navigate the board's process more successfully than you could on your own.
