Licence outcomes in the case records
Revoked, surrendered, suspended, probation, reprimand: counted from what the records state.
Of the 931 records, 665 state an imposed outcome of any kind and 361 state an action against a professional licence, DEA registration, permit or certification (54% of the outcome-stating records, 39% of all records). A record that is silent about the licence may still have had a board action that the press release or news story did not carry, so these are floors, not rates.

Kinds of action
A record can state more than one (a summary suspension, then a revocation), so the first count column adds to more than 361. The “counted once” column places each record under the most severe kind it states, in the order of this table, and adds to 361.
| Kind of action | Records stating it | % of 361 | Counted once | % of 361 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revoked | 83 | 23% | 83 | 23% |
| Surrendered or relinquished | 86 | 24% | 80 | 22% |
| Suspended (including summary and interim suspensions) | 134 | 37% | 121 | 34% |
| Placed on probation | 74 | 20% | 49 | 14% |
| Restricted, conditioned or barred from prescribing | 51 | 14% | 14 | 4% |
| Reprimanded or censured | 23 | 6% | 8 | 2% |
| Denied, refused or not renewed | 6 | 2% | 3 | 1% |
| Other licence or registration action | 7 | 2% | 3 | 1% |
| Records stating any licence action | 361 | 361 | 100% |
What the records say, in their own words
Up to three matched phrases per kind, each linked to its record, so the matching can be judged.
- Revoked
- “pharmacy license revoked” · “DEA registration revoked and pending applications denied by final agency order (default) published Aug. 28” · “License revoked”
- Surrendered
- “DEA registration surrendered” · “agreed to surrender medical license and DEA registration eligibility” · “pharmacy surrendered DEA registration Jan 7”
- Suspended
- “DEA immediate suspension order Dec 17” · “nursing license suspended” · “nursing license suspended indefinitely”
- Probation
- “license probation” · “$200,000 fine and 3-year pharmacy license probation” · “Probation”
- Restricted
- “$150,000 penalty and 4-year prescribing ban” · “one-year bar on controlled-substance access” · “reinstatement conditions imposed”
- Reprimand
- “reprimanded for violating N.J.S.A. 45:1-21(f)” · “public reprimand” · “The Board reprimanded the physician”
- Denied / not renewed
- “DEA registration revoked and pending applications denied by final agency order (default) published Aug. 28” · “Application for certification denied” · “Reinstatement Denied”
- Other
- “Discipline imposed” · “Placed on administrative leave” · “Stipulated Order for Probation”
By role
How many records in each role family state a licence action, and which kinds. Role is read from the record's Role field or its title (how roles are read). Percentages are of that role's records in the registry, so they are floors: a record silent about the licence counts as not stating one.
| Role | Records | State a licence action | % | Revoked or surrendered | Revoked | Surrendered | Suspended | Probation | Restricted | Reprimand | Denied / not renewed | Other |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nurses | 402 | 162 | 40% | 57 | 22 | 35 | 61 | 37 | 21 | 13 | 1 | 5 |
| Pharmacists | 125 | 50 | 40% | 19 | 8 | 12 | 24 | 12 | 8 | 3 | 0 | 1 |
| Pharmacy technicians | 114 | 57 | 50% | 41 | 32 | 14 | 13 | 9 | 6 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
| Prescribers | 134 | 49 | 37% | 27 | 13 | 14 | 22 | 3 | 8 | 3 | 3 | 0 |
| Paramedics, aides and other staff | 18 | 1 | 6% | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Role not stated in the record or its title | 138 | 42 | 30% | 18 | 7 | 11 | 14 | 13 | 8 | 4 | 1 | 0 |
How these are counted
Counted from the records when the site starts. Whether a record states a licence or registration action is decided by the same rule as penalty outcomes: the Status, Outcome and Board action facts shown on the case page are cut into pieces, pieces describing a possible or pending outcome are skipped, and a piece that names a licence, registration, permit, certification or DEA registration together with an action word counts. Each counted piece is then matched for the kind of action (revoked, surrendered, suspended, probation, restricted, reprimanded, denied). Probation ordered by a court is a criminal outcome and is not here; probation placed on a licence is. 51 of the 361 records come from a board order or carry a Board action fact; the rest state the licence action inside a prosecutor's or newsroom's account. Matching is by wording, so an unusually phrased record can be missed; corrections are welcome through the contact form. Which boards publish these orders is on the licensing board directory; the dollar penalties are on what a violation costs.
