For nurses and other health care professionals accused of drug diversion, the most crucial thing to do is to fight the allegations as early as possible, in order to prevent formal action and discipline.
Our healthcare licensing lawyers contended that the APRN’s firing was based on disability and was in violation of both federal and state law.
Our healthcare licensing attorneys argued that IPN was discriminating against an RN for RN’s spinal condition, and that the evaluator was committing malpractice by recommending the RN forego pain medications against 5 other doctors’ recommendations.
Our client believed the HR personnel made a false report on impairment and drug diversion in retaliation. There was no evidence of diversion, and pharmacy records and a drug test supported the conclusion that our client did not lie.
Our client, an RN, was terminated from a hospital due to a drug diversion allegation; we obtained negative hair test to prove non-impairment.
Our healthcare licensing attorneys were able to provide the board with ample evidence proving that CBD can cause false positives and that there was no evidence of impairment.
Our healthcare licensing attorneys successfully contended the nurse accidentally ingested the Butalbital and denied impairment by providing mitigating evidence.

Our attorneys argued that there was a complete lack of accountability at the management level with regard to the safeguarding and administration of controlled substances.
