Sorry to hear that you were terminated and reported to the Nursing Board. I would suggest that you contact a license defense attorney in your state or jurisdiction who represents nurses before the State Nursing Board. The attorney should also be able to speak with you regarding return to work issues as well. Take care of yourself.
