Board of Vocational Nurses and Psychiatric Technicians (BVNPT)
The California Board of Vocational Nurses and Psychiatric Technicians (BVNPT) operates along similar lines as the BRN, but is charged with overseeing the licensing, regulation, and discipline for vocational nurses. When a nurse faces a complaint brought to the BVNPT, it usually involves allegations that the nurse was not competent in the performance of his or her duties, acted in a grossly negligent manner, or was convicted of a crime. Anybody can register a complaint if he believes that there has been a violation of applicable licensing regulations.
A complaint proceeding before the BVNPT may involve the Office of Administrative Hearings, the Office of the Attorney General, and the Division of Investigation as part of the investigation and hearing. As with the process before the BRN, experienced nurse license defense attorney Lucy S. McAllister can minimize the impact of your mistake on your professional livelihood when the BVNPT has initiated a disciplinary proceeding.
