LARA suspended Rana Holman’s nurse license for several violations including attempting to obtain or possess a controlled substance or drug without lawful authority.
LARA’s administrative complaint against Holman alleges the following:
– Holman diverted pre-filled syringes of hydromorphone and confessed to replacing the stolen hydromorphone syringes with syringes filled with ketorolac.
– She entered the facility’s medication room on days she was not scheduled to work and accessed the narcotics cabinet.
– On one occasion, facility staff observed surveillance footage of Holman placing a pre-filled hydromorphone syringe in her purse.
– Facility staff inventoried its supply of pre-filled hydromorphone syringes and found that 23 syringes appeared to have been tampered with.
– 16 patients received medication from the stock of syringes that she had stolen from. These patients complained of uncontrollable pain associated with their procedures.
