Question about disclosure

Is it true that if a nurse is fired from a position they must disclosure that they were fired to all future employers?
depends....... how long you were employed, ...nature of complaint.......sometimes it is not .....short term employment, what were the circumstances ....?

I don't think that is accurate. You always should be truthful but it's not required, atleast not in the state of nevada. Maybe it differs from state to state. You should check.

I was asking because I have heard that the board of nursing can put it on your license that you were disciplined for not disclosing that information. Is this true?

I am truthful on my app about being fired and have never been asked about it.

In some states, all terminations of nurses' employment for cause (meaning for performance reasons) are reported to the state BON.Any BON discipline against your license, for any reason, is public record.

I'm pretty sure on all background checks the reason for leaving will show up as either terminated, laid off, or resigned. Not all applications will ask if you've ever been terminated but if they do and you try and cover it up, they will find out and certainly not hire you. My manager told us a story of how a potential hire had said she was still employed at her old job which she left only a few months before. Well it came back in her background check that she was no longer employed and they couldn't hire her because she lied. When asked why she told them she still worked there, she was worried that an employment gap would look bad despite having a legitimate reason to leave her old job. Big mistake because they would have hired her. Always be honest even when you think it will hurt you.
