The Mississippi Board of Nursing's disciplinary summary for its July 2012 hearings lists a licensed practical nurse whose license was restricted for a minimum of 12 months. The grounds cited were falsifying or in a repeatedly negligent manner making incorrect entries or failing to make essential entries on records, and possessing, obtaining, furnishing or administering drugs to any person, including self, except as legally directed.
The summary does not describe how the conduct was detected, what medication was involved, or where the nurse worked. It also does not distinguish whether the action followed a contested hearing or was accepted by agreed order.
The Board imposed restricted licensure with modified drug-related stipulations, required a medication administration course and a documentation course, and assessed a fine. The amount of the fine is not stated in the summary.
