What Happened
Iowa RN's ability to practice in Nebraska was revoked in October 2024 after a hearing officer found her actions a significant risk to public safety; she was later federally indicted (pleaded not guilty) for tampering and acquiring controlled substances by fraud, alleged to involve oxycodone, morphine and hydrocodone, and surrendered her Iowa license.
Reported status: Licensing action (2024); license revoked (Nebraska Division of Public Health).
