It’s crucial to have nursing license protection because accusations, complaints, and investigations are more common than malpractice suits. Over 9,000 complaints were filed with the California Board of Registered Nursing (BRN) in 2021 alone. An investigation into your license can result in temporary job loss, suspension, or even revocation. RN Guardian helps you handle these situations before they spiral out of control.

Yes, you are. Complaints and investigations are much more common than malpractice suits, and they can lead to job loss, license suspension, or even revocation. In 2009, more than half of the complaints filed with the BRN resulted in a revocation or voluntary surrender of a license. RN Guardian is here to guide you through every step of the investigation process.

Investigations are often kept confidential, and many nurses are reluctant to discuss them due to the stigma attached. The reality is, many nurses facing investigations are excellent professionals who made a single mistake or have been falsely accused. We help bring these issues to light and offer the support you need.

Malpractice insurance does not cover proactive license defense. It reimburses on a case-by-case basis, and only after the complaint has been filed, meaning you have to find, hire, and pay an attorney yourself—often with a $10,000 cap on licensing-related expenses. RN Guardian offers continuous, proactive support with no out-of-pocket fees beyond the membership.

Employers often don’t cover licensing issues, as they can use complaints as leverage to get rid of employees. Many complaints are filed anonymously, and sometimes, good nurses are caught in the middle of workplace politics. RN Guardian ensures you're protected, even in these challenging situations.

It’s simple with zero headaches. You sign up in just two clicks for a flat monthly fee. There’s no application process, and no one is ever denied membership as long as you have an active RN or LVN license in California. As a member, you receive unlimited access to our legal team, covering you for anything that could impact your license.

RN Guardian offers comprehensive services, including:

• Legal counsel for any potential threats to your license.
• Representation during BRN investigations and hearings.
• Assistance in challenging BRN citations and fines.
• Support in negotiating probation or fighting adverse administrative decisions.

You’ll also receive monthly newsletters with updates, blog posts, and a safe, anonymous space to discuss your experiences as a nurse.

Even though you may think you can handle it, BRN investigations are serious legal matters. Investigators are often law enforcement professionals, and the process involves an administrative law judge. Handling it yourself could result in costly mistakes. We specialize in BRN cases and have over 20 years of experience defending nurses.

• Proactive Counsel: RN Guardian helps prevent issues from escalating to investigations, offering guidance on how to handle complaints before they turn into formal proceedings.
• Low, Flat Fees: RN Guardian provides legal support for a flat fee, unlike malpractice insurance, which often requires you to pay out of pocket and may only reimburse you on a case-by-case basis.
• Specialized RN Defense: RN Guardian specializes in defending nursing licenses, with over 20 years of experience handling BRN hearings and a 98% success rate in retaining nurse licenses.

Yes! You can absolutely keep your malpractice insurance. We encourage members to have malpractice insurance and cover all of the bases, even if licensing issues are far more prevalent. RN Guardian offers complementary protection to your existing coverage, focusing specifically on license defense, which malpractice insurance typically doesn’t cover.

If RN Guardian isn’t the right fit for you or your association, you can cancel anytime, no questions asked.
