This article provides a general overview of the disciplinary process for nurses. It also outlines at least one example of an alternative, often called a diversion program, to the standard disciplinary process. It urges school nurses to obtain legal counsel when responding to an inquiry from the board of nursing and discusses several factors to consider when seeking an attorney. The article also briefly discusses how the Nurse Licensure Compact affects the disciplinary process.
