Should this be reported??

i have a "hypothetical" situation and i would like to get advice or feedback.

i have a friend who moved to another state and is a nurse. well here back in the "home" state i found out that her nursing license was suspended due to diversion ( not of narcotics, but one for a prescribed med and the other two were otc) and for falsifying work notes as well.

well she now lives in state b and has a current license in good standing. the two states are not part of a compact agreement.

should this be reported to state b or should i just let nature run its course and not say a word?

once again this is a hypothetical situation.

thanks!!!

what is with these ethics assignments lately?!

Quote from sonoritygeniuswhat is with these ethics assignments lately?!

If the said hypothetical friend was honest (as is required by law) on her application for a license in state b, then she dutifully checked the "yes" box on the background screening form that explicitly asks if the applicant has had action taken on her license in a different state. If the hypothetical applicant was dishonest on this application, then the applicant can look forward to a nice censure and probably probation from state b.

Hypothetically or not - I would just steer clear and mind my own business since you're states away and the alleged in no way affects your own patients

I vote to mind your own business. Unless you are the nurse involved you don't know the details.

Whoever she goes to work for will probably do a look up. Don't you think?
