The language which describe the types of disciplinary actions available from Physicians and Nursing Boards varies according to state law and that is also the case in Nevada. These disciplinary action affects the nurse's licensure status and ability to practice nursing in Nevada and in case relocation would follow such healthcare workers where they are relocated. Board’s actions may include:
Fine or civil penalty
Referral to an alternative to discipline program for practice monitoring and recovery support (drug or alcohol dependent nurses, or in some other mental or physical conditions)
Public reprimand or censure for minor violation of nurse practice act often with no restrictions on license
Imposition of requirements for monitoring, remediation, education or other provision tailored to the particular situation
Limitation or restriction of one or more aspects of practice (e.g., probation with certain restrictions, limiting role, setting, activities, hours worked)
Separation from practice for a period of time (suspension) or loss of license (revocation or voluntary surrender)
Remediation (various educational content or exercises)
Other state specific remedies
This disciplinary record would follow you everywhere, from state to state (Reciprocal Actions)
Now, if you are disciplined in Nevada and you leave the state and get a job in North Carolina, this record would follow you there as well. Also, if you are relocated to Nevada, your disciplinary history would follow you in Nevada as well. This is a permanent feature and an ongoing matter. You just cannot flee the state and not have a disciplinary history.
