Understanding License Suspension/Probation for Nurses
License suspension or probation are severe sanctions for nurses who are found guilty of serious violations.

These violations could include, using illegal substances, neglecting a patient under your care, falsifying medical records, misusing controlled substances, and some other violations. Another common reason why nurses in Texas may face these sanctions is when they are found contravening orders issued earlier by the nursing board. For example, a nurse who has had limitations placed on their license may have it suspended. This could happen if they are found to be doing the activities they were prohibited from, such as practicing without supervision.
If your license is suspended, it means that for some time, you are prohibited from practicing as a nurse. Suspension is normally accompanied by other sanctions such as remedial education and so on. Probation allows you to continue working while you undertake the stipulations that the board has placed on you.
