  • Filing a Complaint FAQ | NCSBN

    The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) is a not-for-profit organization whose purpose is to provide an organization through which boards of nursing act and counsel together on matters of common interest and concern affecting the public health, safety and welfare, including the development of licensing examinations in nursing. Other states are required to share the complaint with the subject nurse. Other states have different guidelines. If you have questions, contact your state Board of Nursing.   Can I be sued for making the complaint? See Answer In most states, anyone who files a report in good faith is immune for doing so, regardless of whether you are a patient, family member or other health care provider.  What kinds of issues are not within the authority of the board? See Answer Bedside manners, rudeness, personality conflicts and dress code concerns do not typically rise to the level of board action.
