What Happened
A nurse at a medical center in Caliente, Nevada, was investigated by the state for two 2015 incidents involving unaccounted morphine.
The investigation indicated the nurse obtained morphine syringes for patients but failed to document whether the drug was administered, a protocol violation. The Nevada State Board of Nursing revoked the nurse's license for five years for unprofessional conduct in April, after the nurse was notified and summoned but did not appear at a March hearing.

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: investigated for two 2015 incidents involving unaccounted morphine; investigation indicated obtaining morphine syringes for patients but failing to document whether the drug was administered. 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.
