WA Board of Nursing Disciplinary Actions
The Washington State Board of Nursing investigates complaints of unprofessional conduct and takes appropriate action.
For details, legal documents, and license status, you can look up individual licensees at the DOH Provider Credential Search.
Disciplinary Actions
Disciplinary actions are formal or informal actions a disciplinary authority can take to limit or restrict a healthcare professional in practice or to impose conditions for practice.
The healthcare professional may also be prevented from practicing as a result of the action. The terms “disciplinary action,” “enforcement action” and “corrective action” have the same meaning.

Stipulations to Informal Disposition (STID)
A Stipulation to Informal Disposition (STID) is an informal disciplinary action to resolve a complaint against a healthcare professional. A licensee admits no wrongdoing but agrees to comply with certain terms.
Additional training is an example of corrective action. STIDs are reportable to national data banks and are posted on Provider Credential Search after being accepted by the disciplinary authority. The document is accompanied by a Statement of Allegations.
