Investigation/Discipline

The Investigative Division conducts investigations for allegations of violations of the Nursing Practice Act.  The work is accomplished through a priority system and performed by objective fact finding during the investigative process.  Evidence is presented during Board hearings by investigative staff.  The Division is responsible for monitoring compliance to Board Orders and reporting Board actions to Federal databanks. The Investigative Division is comprised of six Nurse Investigators and three legal secretaries.

Note: The Oklahoma Board of Nursing does not regulate nor have jurisdiction over CNAs (Certified Nurse Aides) or CMAs (Certified Medication Aides). For matters relating to CNAs and CMAs, please contact the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH).
