Boards Labeling Nurses “Unprofessional” How to Fight Back

Boards are labeling nurses “unprofessional” over de minimis mistakes—late renewals, wrong checkboxes, website wording—and pushing consent orders that follow you via NPDB/Nursys.
In this episode, Amy Siple, NP lays out what happened in Kansas and how nurses can fight back: organize, change policy, and protect yourself with a First-48 plan (don’t call, don’t sign, document), documentation fixes, and an annual NPDB self-query.
