December 2025 Disciplinary Actions: Accusations, Citations, and Decisions
Summary
The California Board of Vocational Nursing and Psychiatric Technicians published its December 2025 disciplinary actions list, recording 11 accusations filed, 25 citations issued, and 7 decisions/orders entered against vocational nurses (VN) and psychiatric technicians (PT) licensed in California. Actions span licensees identified by name, license type, and license number across accusation filing dates from December 4–18, 2025, citation issuance dates from December 4–29, 2025, and decision/order filing dates from December 8–19, 2025.
California healthcare facilities and staffing agencies that credential VN or PT licensees should cross-reference the December 2025 list against current employee rosters and contract staff to identify any personnel subject to accusations, citations, or final orders. Facilities conducting background checks or re-credentialing in early 2026 should ensure their verification processes capture Board actions filed or entered through at least December 29, 2025.
What changed
The December 2025 disciplinary actions list from the California Board of Vocational Nursing and Psychiatric Technicians records three categories of enforcement actions: accusations filed against 11 VN licensees (December 4–18, 2025), citations issued to 23 individuals holding VN or PT licenses (December 4–29, 2025), and decisions and orders entered against 5 VN licensees and 2 entities (December 8–19, 2025).\n\nHealthcare employers, staffing agencies, and facilities employing or credentialing vocational nurses and psychiatric technicians in California should monitor these listings for any current or prospective personnel. Individual licensees facing accusations or citations are subject to potential discipline including license suspension, revocation, probation, or citation with civil penalty. The breadth of citations issued during December 2025 suggests continued enforcement activity by the Board during this period.
