Authority and scope
Check the professional and concern
The Board's complaint page lists APRNs, certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs), RNs, LPNs, and certified nursing assistants (CNAs). Use it to report possible violations by the individual nurse or nursing assistant, providing the credential type when known.

How the official source says to file
- Start from the Board's Submit a Complaint page and open its official complaint portal. The consumer fact sheet describes complaints as written and signed.
- Provide the practitioner's name, license type, and license number if known. The current webpage permits an unknown entry if you do not have the complete name; include other identifying information.
- Give incident dates or approximate dates and shifts, location, patient or client information, and witness names. Include your own name, address, and telephone number.
- Supply supporting documents that you lawfully obtained. If you need help preparing a complaint, the Board lists 888-590-6726.

What this route may not provide
The Board may close facility or billing complaints outside its jurisdiction, matters with insufficient evidence, or system issues unrelated to an individual's conduct. Its described remedies are professional discipline.

Do not guess about confidentiality
Do not expect anonymity: the nurse receives the allegations and complainant's name. Investigation existence is nonpublic and closed investigative files are confidential; those restrictions do not conceal your identity from the subject.

Report promptly; old events may be harder to investigate.
No numerical filing deadline is established here. Missing witnesses or records from old events can prevent investigation. Ask the Board promptly about timing.

What may happen after filing
The Board reviews evidence through records, interviews, and the nurse's response while providing due process. A matter may close, settle, or proceed to a hearing. Possible discipline includes reprimand, fines, probation, suspension, or revocation. The consumer is notified of closure or Board action.
