Christy Raszkowski, an RN from Union City, quit a hospital job when confronted about diversion, then went to another hospital and lied about why she left the first hospital, according to a complaint.

The attorney general’s allegations are just allegations, although Raszkowski admitted obtaining a controlled substance by fraud or deceit during criminal proceedings.

“You are correct the attorney general isn’t always factual,” Raszkowski, now Christy Stubblefield, told The Star Press. “You need to do an article on why there is a nursing shortage.” She referred further questions to her attorney.

Raszkowski voluntarily resigned from Reid Health in Richmond after testing positive for opiates and morphine and after being confronted with the findings of an investigation into missing morphine and three other pain medications and an anesthetic.

The same month, November of 2017, Raszkowski applied for employment at Jay County Hospital, listing on the employment application her reason for leaving Reid Health was “to be closer to home.”

She entered a pre-trial drug diversion agreement after being charged with three felony counts of obtaining a controlled substance by fraud or deceit in Wayne County.

The state agreed to withhold prosecution if Raszkowski complies with requirements including undergoing treatment for addiction and performing 10 hours of community service collecting trash and locating used needles.
