Nursing Focus is the official publication of the Indiana State Board of Nursing. I received my copy of the publication in the mail this week.
In the July 2009, Vol. 5, No. 2 issue there is an article on Renewal Questions and Answers on page 11. See http://www.in.gov/pla/2489.htm.
You are required to disclosed pending State Nursing Board investigations, pending criminal charges, and criminal convictions that were expunged or resolved through criminal diversion.
The application also asks if you have been terminated, reprimanded, disciplined, or demoted in your scope of practice as a nurse or as another healthcare professional.
Nurses are encouraged in the article to err on the side of disclosure because Renewal Fraud is grounds for disciplinary action in Indiana.
My law offfice represents, counsels, and advises nurses before the Indiana Nursing Board and if you need assistance or if you would like to schedule a legal consultation to discuss your self-disclosure to the Indiana State Nursing Board on the 2009 Application for Renewal contact my office at 888-571-1110.
