Nurses can lose their licenses for a number of reasons, including:
Falsifying records
Behaving unprofessionally
Abusing a patient
Neglecting a patient
Not making a mandatory report when necessary
Even if a nurse’s conduct is unintentional, their license can be revoked. Unlike a doctor losing their license in extreme cases, it is much easier for a nurse to lose their license as the result of unintentional malpractice.
