The Maryland Board of Nursing has concluded its investigation into 259 nurses and nursing applicants linked to a fraudulent credential scheme exposed by “Operation Nightingale.” The good news? Most were cleared. Of the total, 205 individuals—about 79%—were found innocent, with the Board stating there was “no cause to take disciplinary action.”
Out of the 259 cases, 54 didn’t end favorably:
➡️ Three nurses had their Maryland practice privileges revoked.
➡️ Seven were referred for prosecution.
➡️ Three surrendered their licenses voluntarily.
➡️ Twelve applicants withdrew their applications.
➡️ Three other cases were closed without further action.
Each situation was handled individually, but the process has sparked some concerns.
