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.⁠
