Can you hire a technician or pharmacist with a valid Nevada license but a revoked license from another state?

The answer that states that a technician or pharmacist with a valid Nevada license but a revoked license from another state cannot be employed is consistent with Nevada's regulations regarding licensing and professional integrity. In Nevada, the licensing boards maintain strict requirements for the ethical practice of pharmacy, and having a revoked license in another state raises serious concerns about professionalism, potential malpractice, and the circumstances leading to the revocation.

The emphasis on maintaining the standards required for all practicing professionals means that even if an individual holds a valid license in Nevada, the history of their practice in another jurisdiction can influence their eligibility for employment. This is to ensure patient safety and uphold the integrity of the pharmacy profession.

Options that suggest hiring could occur under certain conditions, such as passing a background check or obtaining state approval, do not align with the stringent approach that Nevada takes regarding professional licensure and ethical standards. Allowing employment based on these contingencies could lead to risks and undermine the public's trust in healthcare professions. Thus, under Nevada law, employing someone with such a background would not be permitted.
