Please be advised that nursing licenses may be denied or licenses disciplined by the Kansas State Board of Nursing (KSBN). Possible grounds for such action may include being guilty of any felony or being guilty of a misdemeanor that involves an illegal drug offense if the KSBN determines that such person has not been sufficiently rehabilitated to warrant the public trust. Also considered are patterns of practice and other behaviors exhibiting an apparent incapacity to practice nursing. All criminal history must be revealed to and will be evaluated by the KSBN BEFORE licensure is granted or denied. (Kansas Nurse Practice Act Law and Administrative Regulations)
