In what case can a physician assistant face discipline from the Board of Nurse Examiners?

If they hold a nursing license
When they are employed by a hospital
Upon completion of mandatory training
If they file a complaint against another nurse

The correct answer is: If they hold a nursing license

A physician assistant can face discipline from the Board of Nurse Examiners if they hold a nursing license. This is because the Board of Nurse Examiners oversees the behavior and practices of licensed nurses, and having a nursing license subjects the individual to the rules and regulations governing nursing practice. If a physician assistant, who is also a licensed nurse, engages in conduct that violates these nursing regulations, they may be liable for disciplinary actions taken by the board. The other scenarios would not typically provide grounds for the Board of Nurse Examiners to take disciplinary action against a physician assistant. Employment by a hospital or completion of mandatory training does not, in and of itself, create a basis for discipline from the Board. Additionally, filing a complaint against another nurse is a right that all licensed professionals have and would not typically result in disciplinary action against the individual filing the complaint.
