Why should a nurse choose to participate in IPN?
The IPN staff can assist the nurse in obtaining appropriate treatment, continuing care, and ongoing support. If the nurse has violated the Nurse Practice Act, IPN participation is an alternative to disciplinary action by the Florida Board of Nursing. If the nurse is already involved in the disciplinary action process through the DOH, an IPN representative will be present. When that nurses case is heard before the Florida Board of Nursing, IPN can confirm that the nurse is engaged in the recovery process.
