Louisiana State Board of Nursing Disciplinary Proceedings

There are several reasons why disciplinary proceedings might be taken against a nurse by the Louisiana State Board of Nursing. Some of these reasons are:

  • Fraud and deceit
  • Criminal acts
  • Drug abuse
  • Mental illness and incompetence
  • Unprofessional conduct
  • Incompetence due to negligence
  • DWI
  • Lack of reasonable skill and safety to practice nursing

If a nurse has disciplinary action taken against them in Louisiana, the State Board of Nursing may take one of several actions depending on the seriousness of the case. In the least serious cases, the Board may issue a formal reprimand or suspend the nurse’s license and only allow supervised work. In more serious cases, the Board may suspend a nurse’s license and not allow them to work for a specific period of time. In some serious cases, the Board may call for the voluntary suspension of a nurse’s license for at least two years or more. In other serious cases, the Board may call for a summary suspension of a nurse’s license and schedule a disciplinary hearing. The Board will revoke a nurse’s license in the most serious cases. In these cases, the nurse will not be allowed to practice in Louisiana again.
