Ron Chapman Speaks to NBC 2 About Florida Nurses Being Unfairly Forced in IPN

One nurse told investigators that that being forced to undergo treatment for an addiction he doesn’t have is utterly humiliating. Like many nurses we speak to at Chapman Law Group, they often undergo an IPN evaluation because they believe the evaluation will reveal that they do not have an addiction. Much to their surprise, they are found to have and addiction and told to enter IPN, or face disciplinary action against their nursing license. Sadly, many nurses enter IPN believing this will protect their nursing license. Often they are unaware that entering IPN can still lead to disciplinary action.

Ron explains that nurses who struggle to comply with the many requirements of IPN will quickly have their IPN file turned over to the Board of nursing, which often leads to revocation or suspension of their nursing license.
