Limited License For Nurses
Limited license for nurses is a severe sanction that the nursing board in Texas can impose on a nurse. Even though it is less severe than suspension or revocation of a license, it is nevertheless very serious as it puts limitations on what you can do as a nurse. For this reason, it is important to get in touch with Texas Nurse Lawyers if you find yourself accused of violating nursing regulations or if you are in the middle of such a hearing.
Understanding Limited Licenses for Nurses
A limited license means that you are prohibited by the board from performing certain functions as a nurse, or you can only do these functions under supervision. The limitations imposed on your license and their severity will be in line with the charges you face.
For example, a nurse who has been found guilty of using illegal or controlled substances may be prohibited from administering controlled substances to patients. They may also be prohibited from providing direct care to patients, especially those who need to have controlled substances administered to them. Nurses who have inappropriate relationships with patients may be required to attend to patients under supervision or may even be prohibited from performing home-based care.
By limiting the things you can do as a nurse, such sanctions mean that you are less attractive to a potential employer as you can do less than what a similarly qualified nurse can do. Limitations are also a matter of public record and the board may also stipulate that you have to disclose such limitations to any prospective employer.
