Private warnings and competency reviews for nurses

Delaware’s Board of Nursing can send confidential, non-disciplinary letters of concern to licensed nurses after an investigation finds no violation. The Board must find that a nurse’s action or failure to act raises concern and that notice may improve their practice. After a nurse receives a total of 3 letters, the Board can hold a hearing to assess professional competence. At that hearing, all of the nurse’s letters may lose confidentiality and be used as evidence.
