What should the BON do if attempts to notify a nurse about formal charges are unsuccessful?

  1. Drop the charges

  2. Hold the case indefinitely

  3. Proceed and deem the board's charges to be true

  4. Transfer the case to a different jurisdiction

The correct answer is: Proceed and deem the board's charges to be true

If attempts to notify a nurse about formal charges are unsuccessful, the correct course of action for the Texas Board of Nursing (BON) would be to proceed and deem the board's charges to be true. This is important to ensure accountability and enforcement of nursing practice standards. It is not appropriate for the BON to drop the charges, hold the case indefinitely, or transfer the case to a different jurisdiction without the nurse being properly notified and given the opportunity to respond to the charges.
