The Board of Registered Nursing and the Board of License Vocational Nursing require the DUI disclosures of arrests and convictions within 30 days. Failure to disclose can result in an unprofessional contact allegation so they must be done.
The Importance of Disclosures in Protecting Your Nursing License
DUI disclosures are a critical part of the process when facing allegations, as they allow you to convince the Nursing Board to issue an administrative penalty rather than take formal disciplinary action or revoke your nursing license. This is a vital step, and RN Guardian has an incredible success rate in achieving the administrative penalty, known as a citation and a fine, for our clients.
Success Rate and Handling DUI Cases
The majority of DUIs with blood alcohol levels below .15 result in citations and fines for our clients. We’ve also successfully negotiated citations and fines for blood alcohol levels as high as .19. DUI disclosures may seem straightforward: you provide the required documents, a letter of explanation, and submit any mitigating evidence. However, RN Guardianโs success lies in the way we handle the disclosure process. We go above and beyond to present the strongest case possible, something most other law firms do not prioritize.
How Other Law Firms Handle DUI Disclosures
For most law firms, it is more financially advantageous for them to have you face an accusation from the Nursing Board. Many law firms charge substantial fees for defending accusations, ranging from $5,000 to $10,000. As a result, these firms often offer disclosures at a low fee, doing just enough to meet the Board’s requirements with the expectation that an accusation will be filed, leading to further fees.
Our Unique Approach and Commitment to Defending Your Career
At RN Guardian, our approach is completely different. Our sole focus is defending your career and license, not just generating additional fees. We donโt just meet the minimum requirements for disclosures; we take every step to build a mitigation package that convinces the Board to issue a citation and fine, preventing a full accusation. While our fees for disclosures may be slightly higher at the outset, they are worth it for the long-term protection of your career and license.
Why Our Approach Works: A Proven Track Record
Weโve defended thousands of nurses like you, and our outstanding track record of achieving citations and fines speaks for itself. Unlike other firms, our goal has always been to protect your license and career at a fraction of the cost compared to the typical law firm that focuses on handling accusations. With RN Guardian, you are investing in the best possible protection for your future.
