Can a RN lose their license for forcible felony?

Yes, a registered nurse (RN) can lose their license for committing a forcible felony. Most state nursing boards have regulations that allow for disciplinary action, including license revocation, if a nurse is convicted of a serious crime, particularly one involving violence or moral turpitude. Additionally, such actions can be seen as compromising the nurse's ability to provide safe and ethical care. It is essential for RNs to adhere to legal and ethical standards to maintain their licensure.
