Nurses, by the nature of the work they do, are often placed in “intimate” situations with patients. And patients, by the very fact that they are receiving medical care, are inherently vulnerable.

Because of the combination of these circumstances, it's important for nurses to maintain clear boundaries.

When those boundaries are violated – or perceived to be violated – anyone can file a complaint with the Texas Board of Nursing (BON). All allegations and complaints that appear to violate the Nursing Practice Act automatically trigger an investigation.

If you have been contacted by the BON, or have concerns about an incident that occurred, please contact us immediately. We can help you through the entire nursing license defense process, potentially mitigating any disciplinary action or limits on your license.

Potential boundary crossings or boundary violations for nurses include the following:

It’s important to note that it doesn’t matter whether the questionable behavior was initiated by you, your patients, or their family members – it can still constitute a violation of boundaries.

If you’ve been accused of a violation of boundaries, you should consider hiring a nurse's attorney. Throughout the entire process of defending your nursing license, we can be by your side, potentially mitigating the disciplinary sanctions that the nursing board imposes.
