What Happened

A registered nurse was alleged to have diverted controlled substances from a rehabilitation facility in Burlington, Wisconsin, on or around December 3, 2019.

The Wisconsin Board of Nursing accepted a stipulation and entered a final decision and order on September 10, 2020, accepting surrender of the nurse's license, barring reinstatement for at least one year, and imposing $632 in costs.

What the Record Shows

License surrender accepted; final decision and order dated September 10, 2020; no petition for reinstatement for at least one year and $632 costs before any application is considered.

Why It Matters for Diversion Programs

This entry comes from a primary source rather than a federal enforcement release, and it is recorded as reported: Alleged to have diverted controlled substances from the facility on or around December 3, 2019.. 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.
