ASBN - Consent Agreements

The Board has approved guidelines to offer a nurse an informal settlement known as a Consent Agreement. Board staff members offer a Consent Agreement to a nurse for violations of the Nurse Practice Act and Rules. A Consent Agreement is essentially a contract between the Board of Nursing and the nurse. The Order has required stipulations, which may include courses, random drug screening, performance evaluations, employment restrictions, or a civil penalty.
