Authority and scope
Check the professional and concern
The Board’s Investigative Division handles alleged Nursing Practice Act violations involving registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, advanced practice registered nurses, and Advanced Unlicensed Assistants. Its current complaint link explicitly names those credentials. The Board says it does not have jurisdiction over Certified Nurse Aides or Certified Medication Aides and directs those concerns to the Oklahoma State Department of Health.

Open this official route ↗How the official source says to file
- Follow the Investigative Division’s File a Complaint link for an RN, LPN, APRN, or AUA.
- For a CNA or CMA, follow the separate Department of Health Nurse Aide Registry destination identified by the Board. That page provides registry contacts and an abuse notification form.
- Detailed Nursing Board portal fields, required attachments, and signature requirements could not be inspected. Ask the Board about missing information or access difficulties rather than assuming a general inquiry is a filed complaint.

What this route may not provide
The Board’s role is investigation and professional regulation under the Nursing Practice Act. Its published division description does not establish a financial recovery remedy. An AUA credential is not interchangeable with CNA or CMA status; choosing the correct agency depends on the worker’s actual credential.

Do not guess about confidentiality
The accessible Investigative Division page does not establish whether anonymous complaints are accepted or whether complainant identity is protected. Ask the Board about both questions before relying on either anonymity or confidentiality.

Ask the correct agency promptly; a filing deadline was not established.
The checked Nursing Board instructions do not establish a public complaint filing deadline. Ask promptly about your circumstances. This guide does not transfer any timing rule between the Nursing Board and the Department of Health aide route.

What may happen after filing
The Division describes objective fact gathering, preparation and presentation of investigative evidence at Board hearings, monitoring compliance with Board orders, and reporting to federal data banks. Its accessible page does not promise an investigation duration or a particular outcome for a complainant.
