Complaint before the Board of Nurses

I just spoke with a Board Investigator. Apparently they have had 2 investigators leave recently which bumps up the caseload per investigator to almost 200 cases. Most of my cases are taking 1-2 years to be resolved and it looks like it is just going to get worse. This makes it extremely frustrating for nurses under investigation because for 1-2, maybe even 3 years, the nurse is under constant stress from the pending investigation.

And now, the Board is in the process of getting background checks on every licensed nurse. This is only going to add more cases to an already bottlenecked situation. There are solutions but they are going to have come from the Legislature, which means that the issues have to be presented by nursing associations and advocates.
