The Member, a registered nurse, admitted to professional misconduct for falsely claiming to hold a Doctor of Education, Master of Science, and Doctor of Nursing Science over a four-year period.
These false credentials led to promotions within her hospital employer.
The Discipline Committee accepted the Agreed Statement of Facts and found the Member committed professional misconduct.
The panel ordered an oral reprimand, a three-month suspension, and a requirement that the Member notify any employer of the penalty decision for a period of one year upon resuming practice.
