You’ve put a great deal of time, money and effort into your education and training as a nurse. However, issues like license discipline or denial could derail your career.
Work with Williams & Nickl when addressing nursing license issues.
We’re experienced licensing and Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) attorneys, and we’ll help you understand the steps to take to avoid disciplinary action.
You may need to address different licensing issues, depending on the type of license you hold. We can assist with your case before the Illinois Board of Nursing and the IDFPR.
As an LPN, you provide basic medical care that RNs or APNs often delegate. As a result, you can face discipline for exceeding your allowed scope of practice.
As an RN, you may face disciplinary action for a variety of reasons:
APNs — such as nurse practitioners, nurse midwives, clinical nurse specialists and certified RN anesthetists — often face a higher level of scrutiny.
That’s especially true if you have the authority to prescribe medications and/or controlled substances.
If you’re a nurse applicant, the state may deny your license application due to issues such as previous criminal convictions or sister-state discipline.
Even if you can provide a satisfactory explanation for any deficiencies the IDFPR identifies, those issues can significantly delay your license issuance.
If your Nursys license lookup is misleading, inaccurate or wrong, we can help fix the problem. The fault often lies with the IDFPR, but we occasionally find that Nursys itself is responsible.
You don’t have to live with an inaccurate Nursys record.

We’ll provide you with a free initial one-hour consultation, either in person, over the phone or via Zoom. During your consultation, we’ll cover the bases:
We have a proven success record in representing nurses and other licensed professionals in license discipline-involved cases. We’ve also helped many clients who were facing denial of licensure.
At Williams & Nickl, we’ve worked with more than 3,000 clients throughout our combined 55 years of experience to address licensing issues before the IDFPR.
Attorney Ed Williams is the former IDFPR chief of prosecutions. He and Attorney Fred Nickl understand the formal and informal procedures the IDFPR follows in license discipline or application denial cases.
We can also help you respond to DEA investigations or other situations where you may face discipline due to accusations that you’ve mishandled or misused controlled substances.
We’re uniquely positioned to help you address and resolve licensing issues quickly and effectively.
In addition, we have a 100% success rate in helping nursing students who have received deficiency checklists get their RN, LPN and APN licenses. Our stellar success record in handling challenging cases speaks for itself.
For example, a nurse contacted us after she had been waiting for three months for the IDFPR to act on her response to their requests for information. We helped have her nursing license issued within three days.
