What Happened

The Georgia Board of Nursing revoked a licensed practical nurse's license after finding she removed controlled substances from her workplace, continued working as an LPN while her license was suspended, and drafted a fraudulent letter purportedly from the Nursing Board.

The Court upheld the Board's revocation decision.

Why It Matters for Diversion Programs

This entry comes from a news source rather than a federal enforcement release, and it is recorded as reported: Removed controlled substances from her workplace, in addition to working as an LPN while her license was suspended and drafting a fraudulent letter purportedly from the Nursing Board. Board and news records are a lagging indicator - by the time a licensing authority or a reporter learns of a diversion, the diversion was normally detected internally first, which makes each entry a signal that inventory reconciliation, waste observation or dispensing oversight failed earlier.
