According to the Nevada State Board of Pharmacy's quarterly disciplinary report, a registered pharmaceutical technician was the subject of a Notice of Intended Action and Accusation heard at the Board's February 22, 2007 meeting. The accusation concerned hydrocodone prescriptions that the technician allegedly authorized and refilled for herself without a physician's authorization.
The conduct came to the Board's attention through the technician's employer. Board staff told the Board they had received notice that the technician had been terminated from employment because of the self-authorized refills. The report does not describe the specific pharmacy records or audit that led the employer to the discovery.
The technician did not appear at the hearing even though she had received the Notice of Intended Action and Accusation. The Board revoked her pharmaceutical technician registration. The report contains no information about criminal charges or any other penalty.
