§30-7-14. Injunction or other relief against unlawful acts.
The practice of registered professional nursing by any
person who has not been licensed under the provisions of this
article, or whose license has expired or has been suspended or
revoked, is hereby declared to be inimical to the public health

nursing without holding a valid license hereunder, or has
engaged, is engaging or is about to engage in any act which
constitutes, or will constitute, a violation of this article, the
board may make application to the appropriate court having equity
jurisdiction for an order enjoining such practices or acts, and
upon a showing that such person has engaged, is engaging or is
about to engage, in any such practices or acts, an injunction,
restraining order, or such other order as the court may deem
appropriate shall be entered by the court.
The remedy provided in this section shall be in addition to,
and not in lieu of, all other penalties and remedies provided in
this article.
